Solution

The correct option is D ${(C_{6} H_{5} C O O)}_{2} C a$ and ${(C H_{3} C O O)}_{2} C a$
Dry distillation of a mixture of calcium acetate and calcium benzoate gives acetophenone.

${(C_{6} H_{5} C O O)}_{2} C a + {(C H_{3} C O O)}_{2} C a d r y d i s t i l l a t i o n - -------- \to 2 C_{6} H_{5} C O C H_{3} + C a C O_{3}$

Option C is correct.
