Is benzoic acid is soluble in NaOH?
no, it is insoluble
How do you separate benzoic acid from a mixture of napthalene and benzoic acid?
well Naphtali has a much lower boiling point so u can distill it off, or u can add water wich the benzoic acid is slightly soluble in, than boil it off.
Why is the sodium benzoate easily extracted into H20 while the original benzoic acid is not easily extracted into H20?
Because sodium benzoate is a salt and is soluble in water while benzoic acid is insoluble.
Can benzoic acid dissolve in acetone?
It is partially soluble.
Why is methanoic acid more acidic than benzoic acid?
We would certainly expect benzoic acid to be more acidic than methanoic acid, due to stabilisation of the benzoate anion caused by the delocalisation of the electrons on the oxygen atom over the benzene ring. However, in practice, it is found that methanoic acid is actually more acidic than benzoic acid(has a greater Ka value). This is because methanoic acid is more soluble in water than benzoic acid, so there is greater ionisation of methanoic acid in water than benzoic acid.
Is benzoic acid soluble?
Benzoic acid is soluble in water, as are all acids, by definition. An acid is a chemical which, when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of H+ ions.
Is benzoic acid soluble in kerosene.?
Benzoic acid is soluble in kerosene.
How a mixture of sand and benzoic acid which is soluble in hot water might be separated to provide benzoic acid?
Sand is insoluble in water and can be easily filtered.
Is benzoic acid is soluble in NaOH?
no, it is insoluble

Why is the solubility of benzoic acid poor in cold water?
temperature affects the solubility of a substance..benzoic is poor in cold water because it is only slightly soluble in water..in order for it to reach the point of saturation, heat must be applied..heat acts as a catalyst..
Why is the sodium benzoate easily extracted into H20 while the original benzoic acid is not easily extracted into H20?
Because sodium benzoate is a salt and is soluble in water while benzoic acid is insoluble.
Is benzoic acid a stronger acid than HCl?
No, benzoic acid is not soluble in hydrochloric acid. However if you boil the benzoic acid to where it is water soluable and add hydrochloric acid it forms it back into the solid
A mixture of camphor and benzoic acid can be easily separated by?
Benzoic acid is more soluble than camphor in ethanol. The solution can be filtrated.
Can benzoic acid dissolve in acetone?
It is partially soluble.

Benzoic acid is non-water soluble?
From the structure of benzoic acid, we can see that the phenyl substituent makes of most of the molecule, so we should expect it to be nonpolar with respect to water. However, if another molecule were to deprotonate the benzoic acid (ie. with a base like NaOCH3), its conjugate base -- which by the way is negatively charged -- will easily dissolve in water because it can form favorable interactions with water molecules.
