उत्तर १
Through sodium bicarbonate:
Benzaldehyde does not react with sodium bicarbonate. However, benzoic acid will produce brisk effervescence in reaction with sodium bicarbonate, as shown in the given reaction:
\[\ce{C6H5COOH + NaHCO3 -> C6H5COO^-Na+ + CO2 ↑ + H2O}\]
\[\ce{C6H5CHO ->[NaHCO3 solution] No effervescene}\]
Through Tollen's reagent:
Benzaldehyde reacts with an ammonia solution of silver nitrate to form a silver mirror.
\[\ce{C6H5CHO + 2[Ag(NH3)2]+ + 3OH^- -> C6H5COO^- + 2Ag + 2H2O + 4NH3}\]
However, no such reaction is given by benzoic acid.
उत्तर २
Benzoic acid reacts with ethanol in the presence of dilute sulphuric acid to form sweet-smelling ester Ethyl benzoate. This reaction is not given by benzaldehyde.
