give chemical test to distinguish between
i)benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde
ii) benzyl bromide and bromobenzene
plzzz urgent !!
i) Benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde:
Fehling's solution test: When acetaldehyde is heated with Fehling solution, red ppt. of cuprous oxide are formed. But benzaldehyde does not give red ppt. with fehling solution.
CH3CHO + 2Cu2+ + 5OH- → CH3COO- + Cu2O + 3H2O
C6H5CHO + 2Cu2+ + 5OH- → No red ppt.
ii) Benzyl bromide and Bromo benzene:
Silver nitrate test: benzyl bromide react rapidly with ethanol and silver nitrate while bromo benzene does not react with it.
