Answer:
X and Y are soda-lime and zinc dust respectively.
Explanation:
The correct option is d) soda-lime and zinc dust because
Benzoic acid reacts with soda lime to give benzene.
C₆H₅COOH + Soda-lime → C₆H₆
Phenol on reaction with zinc dust forms benzene.
C₆H₅OH+Zn→C₆H₆
Therefore, Benzoic acid gives benzene on being heated with soda-lime and phenol gives benzene on being heated with zinc dust.
Thus, X and Y are soda-lime and zinc dust respectively.
