Best answer

(i) Benzaldehyde and benzoic acid can be distinguished by sodium bicarbonate test. 

Benzoic acid will give effervescence with NaHCO3 but benzaldehyde will not react.

(ii) Propanal and propanone can be distinguished by their reactions with Tollens’ reagent.

Propanal will form the silver mirror, but propanone does not react.
