Question

Any time a reaction procedure involves separation steps during the workup, it is a good idea to outline a separation scheme.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Benzene is formed as a result when benzoic acid is generated by Grignard reaction. We must therefore isolate it from the desired benzoic acid compound, as the rest is not dismissed after dissolution in aqueous NAOH solution. Therefore, it a good idea to outline a separation scheme for such cases.

This implies that the given statement is true.
