Solution

The correct option is C In ether: $1 -$ hexanol ; In $N a H C O_{3}$ : sodium hexanoate
When a mixture of 1−hexanol and hexanoic acid in diethyl ether is shaken with an aqueous $N a H C O_{3}$ solution, Hexanoic acid will react with $N a H C O_{3}$ to form sodium hexanoate.

$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C O O H + N a H C O_{3} \to C H_{3} - (C H_{2})_{4} - C O O N a + H_{2} O + C O_{2}$
