MCQ
If formaldehyde and potassium hydroxide are heated, then we get
- AAcetylene
- BMethane
- ✓Methyl alcohol
- DEthyl formate
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Methyl alcohol
c
(c)$HCHO + HCHO\xrightarrow{{{\text{Conc}}{\text{.}}\,KOH}}\mathop {C{H_3}OH}\limits_{{\text{Methyl alcohol}}\,} + \mathop {HCOOK}\limits_{{\text{Potassium formate}}} $
It is cannizzaro’s reaction.
