Answer

(3) [figure]

Solution

(i) HCN adds to benzaldehyde to give the cyanohydrin; (ii) acid hydrolysis converts -CN to -COOH (2-hydroxy-2-phenylethanoic acid, mandelic acid).

(iii) As per NCERT, sodium salts of carboxylic acids lose carbon dioxide when heated with soda-lime (NaOH and CaO in the ratio 3 : 1) — decarboxylation, -COOH is replaced by H.

[figure]

The product is benzyl alcohol, C6H5CH2OH.

Carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than aldehydes, ketones and even alcohols of comparable molecular mass. It is due to their

  1. formation of intramolecular H-bonding
  2. formation of carboxylate ion
  3. more extensive association of carboxylic acid via van der Waals' forces of attraction
  4. formation of intermolecular H-bonding
