Yes, benzaldehyde is soluble in sodium hydroxide to some extent due to the formation of a water-soluble sodium salt of benzaldehyde through a process known as neutralization. The solubility of benzaldehyde in sodium hydroxide will depend on various factors such as temperature and concentration.
Benzaldehyde is partially miscible in water, meaning that it can mix with water to some extent but not completely. This is due to the polarity of benzaldehyde, which allows for some interaction with water molecules.
One way to distinguish between benzaldehyde and benzoic acid is by performing a solubility test. Benzaldehyde is soluble in organic solvents, while benzoic acid is soluble in water. Another test is to add aqueous sodium bicarbonate: benzoic acid will effervesce as carbon dioxide gas is produced, whereas benzaldehyde will not show any reaction. Additionally, benzoic acid will give a characteristic white precipitate when treated with acidified potassium permanganate solution, while benzaldehyde will not react with this reagent.
The properties of aromatic aldehydes like benzaldehyde is that they are colorless liquids that are slightly soluble in water. They smell of almonds and react similar to their aliphatic analogues.
The reagent that will convert benzaldehyde to benzoate ions is a base such as hydroxide ion (OH⁻) in the presence of water. The base deprotonates the aldehyde group of benzaldehyde to form the benzoate ion.
The density of benzaldehyde is approximately 1.041 g/mL. Therefore, 5 mL of benzaldehyde would be approximately 5.205 grams.
The density of benzaldehyde is 1,044 g/cm3.
Benzaldehyde can be removed from a reaction mixture by washing the mixture with a suitable solvent that is immiscible with water, such as diethyl ether. Benzaldehyde will partition into the organic phase, leaving behind impurities in the aqueous phase. Alternatively, benzaldehyde can be purified by distillation under reduced pressure, taking advantage of its relatively low boiling point.
