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. \[\underset{Formaldehyde}{\mathop{2HCHO+NaOH}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\]\[\underset{Alcohol}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}OH}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} Sodium \\ formate \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{HCOONa}}\,\] This reaction is Cannizzaros reaction.
