Dissolve benxioc acid and benzaldehyde in organic solvent. The two compounds are not miscible.with water. Put the two in separating funnel. Then use aqueous sodium bicarbonate to extract. Benzioc acid will be in aqueous layer as benzioate ion. Benzaldehyde remain insoluble and can be isolated.
Explanation:
Extractions are techniques use to separate desired compounds when mixed together. The mixture is brought in contact with solvent in which the sites substance is soluble and other is insoluble. Extractions use imissicible stages to separate substance from another.
