Question

how to convert benzyl alcohal to benzoic acid

Answer 1

Procedure

The benzioc acid is synthesized by heating benzylalcohol in a round
bottomed flask under reflux. In addition to that, we use Na2O4 as a
oxidizing agent. After that, we use HCl to precipitate it. After the
some time, we filter it through a Büchner funnel before it is
recrystallized and filtered again. The mass was recorded as it was
dry.

By adding sodium carbonate, we will now test whether what obtained is
benzoic acid or not, because one can observe bubbles if it is an acid.
After that we burn it to test if it is aromatic. Soot would be
possible to obtain if it was to be aromatic.
