A) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]
B) \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]
C) \[CH\equiv CH\]
D) \[C{{H}_{3}}OH\]
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
\[\underset{formaldehyde}{\mathop{2HCHO}}\,+40%NaOH\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} methyl \\ alcohol \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}OH}}\,\] \[+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} sodium \\ formate \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{HCOONa}}\,\] This reaction is called cannizzaro reaction.
