Study the given reaction and identify the process which is carried out.
A.
It is used for purification of aldehydes and ketones.
B.
It is used to distinguish aldehydes from ketones.
C.
It is used to prepare cyclic aldehydes and ketones.
D.
It is used to study polar nature of aldehydes and ketones.
Answer :
It is used for purification of aldehydes and ketones.
Solution :
Aldehydes and ketones form insoluble crystalline compounds with $$NaHS{O_3}$$ which can be filtered. These on distillation with saturated solution of $$N{a_2}C{O_3}$$ again give the aldehydes and ketones.
