What happens when:
(i) Acetyl chloride is reduced with hydrogen in presence of barium sulphate associated with palladium.
(ii) Benzaldehyde boils with 45% NaOH
What happens when:
(i) Acetyl chloride is reduced with hydrogen in presence of barium sulphate associated with palladium.
(ii) Benzaldehyde boils with 45% NaOH

(i) Acetaldehyde is obtained when acetyl chloride is reduced with hydrogen in presence of barium sulphate associated with palladium.
CH3 – COCl + 2H → CH3CHO + HCl
(ii) Sodium benzoate and Benzoyl alcohol are obtained when benzaldehyde boils with 45% solution of NaOH.
2C6H5CHO + NaOH → C6H5COONa + C6H5CH2OH
