Answer: The product formed will be benzyl alcohol and sodium methanoate.

Explanation:

The reaction between benzaldehyde and formaldehyde is an example of Crossed Cannizzaro's reaction where formaldehyde is oxidized and benzaldehyde is reduced.

Cannizzaro's reaction happens when aldehydes do not contain -hydrogen and under alkanline conditions undergo intermolecular oxidation and reduction to form alcohol and a salt of aromatic carboxylic acid as the final products.

The product for the reaction of benzaldehyde and formaldehyde will yield benzyl alcohol and sodium methanoate.

The reaction is given below.
