A) HCHO
B) \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]
C) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]
D) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Formaldehyde and NaOH reacts to produce alcohol and sodium salt of an acid. \[2HCHO+NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{Alcohol}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}OH}}\,+\underset{\text{Sodium formate}}{\mathop{HCOONa}}\,\] This reaction is Cannizzaro's reactionYou need to login to perform this action.
