Want this question answered?
They may be distinguish by treating their solutions with sodium bicarbonate, benzoic acid produces the bubbles of carbon dioxide but phenyl compounds do not.
For example the chemical reactivity.
bromine water test
There is no reaction.
yes.
propanol and propanone - tollens test
the chemical structure of the two are analogous

Benzoic acid will give brisk effervescence on reacting with sodium bicarbonate.
they don't
research
the difference between cyclohexane and cyclohexene is the difference between an alkane and an alkene. Add bromine water to both samples. cyclohexane will remain orange. cyclohexene will turn the orange solution colourless because bromine adds across the double bonds. Propanol gives effervescence of hydrogen with sodium metal, propanone does not. Propanone and 2-propanol answer iodoform test, 1-propanol does not Benzoic acid and propanoic acid gives effervescence of carbon dioxide with sodium bicarbonate, benzaldehyde and propanoic chloride does not.
For example the chemical reactivity.
bromine water test
To determine the partition coefficient of Benzoic Acid between Benzene and water the solubility of benzoic acid is required. The partition can then be determined by calculation.
how can you distinguish between them
Benzylidenecyclopentanone Draw its structure by attaching C6H5-CH= to carbon 2 of cyclopentanone.
