MCQ
Acetophenone can be obtained by the distillation of:
  • A
    $(C_6H_5COO)_2Ca$
  • B
    $(CH_3COO)_2Ca$
  • $(C_6H_5COO)_2Ca$ and $(CH_3COO)_2Ca$
  • D
    $(C_6H_5COO)_2Ca$ and $(HCOO)_2Ca$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$(C_6H_5COO)_2Ca$ and $(CH_3COO)_2Ca$
c
Dry distillation of a mixture of calcium acetate and calcium benzoate gives acetophenone.

$\left( C _6 H _5 COO \right)_2 Ca +\left( CH _3 COO \right)_2 Ca \stackrel{\text { dry distillation }}{\longrightarrow} 2 C _6 H _5 COCH _3+ CaCO _3$
