Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reaction of acetic acid $(CH_3COOH)$ with $Ca(OH)_2$ followed by heating is a dry distillation process.$1$. $2CH_3COOH + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow (CH_3COO)_2Ca + 2H_2O$$2$. $(CH_3COO)_2Ca \xrightarrow{\Delta} CH_3COCH_3 + CaCO_3$Compound $P$ is acetone $(CH_3COCH_3)$.Acetone contains $\alpha$-hydrogens,so it undergoes Aldol condensation.It does not undergo Cannizzaro's reaction (requires no $\alpha$-hydrogen) and does not reduce Tollen's reagent (ketones are not easily oxidized).

$CH_3-COOH \xrightarrow[(2)\Delta ]{(1)Ca(OH)_2} P$. Compound $P$ can show:
