Question

Weight (g) of two moles of the organic compound, which is obtained by heating sodium ethanoate with sodium hydroxide in presence of calcium oxide is :

A

16

B

32

C

30

D

18

Step-by-Step Solution

Heating sodium ethanoate (CH3COONaCH_3COONa) with soda lime (NaOH+CaONaOH + CaO) is a decarboxylation reaction that produces methane (CH4CH_4). The molar mass of methane is 16 g/mol. The weight of two moles is 2×16=322 \times 16 = 32 g.

Exam Context & Concepts Covered

This question aligns with the NEET CHEMISTRY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from General. Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations.
