    Why does benzaldehyde produce a neutral solution in water?
    I am not sure if it really does, but the result of my experiment indicates that it does. The same goes for acetone and acetophenone. Thanks. I really need to know.

    Because aldehydes and ketones are neither acidic nor basic.

    If this is from an organic chemistry course, then you should have learned about organic acids and bases before you learned about aldehydes and ketones. If this is from a biology or nursing chem course, then it's probably not necessary that you know why, but just that aldehydes and ketones are neither acidic nor basic.
