In this step of the experiment you are trying to separate benzoic acid from biphenyl an impurity. Sodium hydroxide reacts with benzoic acid to form (ar-O-O(-)na(+)) and (H2O), this allows for the ether layer containing biphenyl to separate as the precipitant, which we can now extract and discard.
It depends on the overall reaction. If the carboxylic acid is an impurity in the reaction (undesired), then washing with sodium hydroxide will extract the carboxylic into the aqueous layer, and it can then be disposed. The reaction for this looks as follows: (ring)-COOH + NaOH -> (ring)-COO-Na+ + H20 Where the ring loses a proton to the hydroxide ion and becomes water soluble.
No. Sodium chloride is polar, whereas diethyl ether is non-polar. Unlike solutes do not dissolve in unlike solvent. Only "like dissolves like".
Naphthalene is nonpolar and therefore soluble in nonpolar solvents like ether, but not very soluble in the polar solvent water. Sodium chloride is ionic and soluble in water due to the strong ion-dipole interactions, but not soluble in ether which cannot stabilize the charged ions. The solubility of compounds in different solvents is primarily determined by the nature of the intermolecular interactions between the solute and solvent molecules.
The reaction between 1-propanol and ethyl bromide would result in an SN2 reaction where the ethyl bromide attacks the carbon bearing the -OH group on 1-propanol, displacing the hydroxyl group and forming ethyl propyl ether as the main product. Sodium hydroxide may be used as a catalyst in this reaction.
No, ethyl acetate and diethyl ether are not the same. Ethyl acetate is an ester commonly used as a solvent, while diethyl ether is an ether used as a solvent and a reagent in chemical reactions. They have different chemical structures and properties.

No, sodium bicarbonate is not soluable in ether.
Classification of any substance as solute and solvent is not possible until it is being used along with other substance/s . The substance present in the largest quantity is solvent whereas substances present in smaller quantity which are able to get dissolved in the solvent are solute.
Nothing!
No.

Sodium metal being insoluble in ether is a physical property, not a chemical reaction. This is because no new substances are being formed, it is simply a case of the sodium metal not dissolving in the ether due to differences in polarity.
no, but it dissolves
Sodium chloride is not soluble in ether.
oxygen
Sodium ions react with other ionic species via electrostatic interactions. Diethyl ether does not contain any ionic functional groups, nor does it have acidic protons.
