Question

Q. Select the letter A to H for the correct answer corresponding to the statement.

A. Ammoniacal $\mathit{C}\mathit{u}\mathit{C}\mathit{l}$ B. Trichloromethane

C.Trichloroethane D. Bromine solution

E. Aqueous $\mathit{K}\mathit{O}\mathit{H}$ F. Ethene

G. Soda-lime H. Ethyne

The substance which reacts with Sodium propionate to give a saturated hydrocarbon.

Answer 1

1. Sodium propionate is the Sodium salt of Propionic acid. It is a white-colored powder.
2. Sodium propionate when reacts with Sodium hydroxide or soda lime in presence of Calcium oxide, gives Ethane which is a saturated hydrocarbon.
3. A saturated hydrocarbon possesses only single bonds.
4. The chemical equation for the reaction is as followed:
   $$\begin{gathered} {\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_5\mathrm{COONa}\left(s\right)+\mathrm{NaOH}\left(s\right)+\mathrm{CaO}\left(s\right)\to {\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_6\left(g\right)+{\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{CO}}_3\left(s\right) \\ \mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{Ammonium}\mathrm{Calcium}\mathrm{Ethane}\mathrm{Sodium} \\ \mathrm{propionate}\mathrm{hydroxide}\mathrm{oxide}\mathrm{Carbonate} \end{gathered}$$
5. Therefore, the substance which reacts with Sodium propionate to give a saturated hydrocarbon is soda-lime.
6. Hence, the correct answer corresponding to the statement is G.
