Is benzoic acid an organic or inorganic compound?
The formula for benzoic acid is C7H6O2. As a rule, compounds that are cheifly variants of C, H, and O are organic, as is benzoic acid.
Is benzoic acid inorganic or organic?
Any molecule containing carbon that is NOT either carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, or any allotrope of elemental carbon is considered to be organic. Seeing as benzoic acid is a carboxylic acid created by a benzene ring, it most definetely is organic
Is benzoic acid a strong or weak acid?
Yes. Benzoic acid is an organic compond with the formula C7H5CO2H
Is benzoic acid soluble in ethyl acetate?
Yes, benzoic acid is soluble in ethyl acetate. Both substances are organic compounds and generally have good solubility in each other.
How pure benzoic acid may be separated form a solution of sand and benzoic acid?
To separate benzoic acid from a solution of sand and benzoic acid, you can use solvent extraction. Benzoic acid is soluble in organic solvents like diethyl ether, while sand is not. By adding diethyl ether to the solution, the benzoic acid will dissolve in the ether, allowing you to separate it from the sand by decanting or filtration. Then, evaporate the diethyl ether to recover the pure benzoic acid.
How do you separate benzoic acid from a mixture of CONGO RED and salt?
Dissolve the mixture in an apolar organic solvent, such as diethyl ether, and extract the acid with the addition of NaOH. The bezoic acid with ionize and go into the aqueous solution. Separate the two layers and add HCl to the aqueous layer to precipitate the benzoic acid. Wash the remaing ether solution with water and dry it with an anhydrous salt. Filter the ether solution and then remove the ether, the solvent, in order to obtain the pure benzoin.
Why is benzoic acid is extracted into ether then extracted into an alkali solution prior to being precipitated with strong acid in its preparation with grignard reagent?
When you're attempting to extract benzoic acid from other organic compounds, it is necessary to change its pH by adding a layer of an basic compound such as 1M NaOH so that the benzoic acid then can be separated from the organic layer within a separatory funnel. When in NaOH, the benzoic acid loses a proton and thus becomes its conjugate base (the benzoate ion). The benzoate ion is charged and thus become miscible in the aqueous layer. To extract benzoic acid (ie get it to precipitate out of solution), a strong acid such as HCl must be added to solution. After the extraction, lower the pH of the solution, and recrystalize (use ice after the recrystalization to get benzoic acid crystals to crash out).
What happens if you add benzoic acid to nitric acid with a concentrated sulfuric acid catalyst?
The reaction of benzoic acid with concentrated nitric acid in the presence of a sulfuric acid catalyst would result in the formation of nitrobenzene. Nitrobenzene is an important industrial chemical used in the production of aniline, which is a precursor for various dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds.
Is benzoic acid flammable?
No, benzoic acid is a white crystalline solid and is not flammable. Like all organic substances though, it will burn with enough heat applied.
What happens when benzoic acid dibromobenzene and ether are combined?
Yes all organic compounds dissolve in ethers.
Is benzoic acid soluble in kerosene.?
Benzoic acid is soluble in kerosene.
What is the solubility of Benzoic acid in acetone?
Solubility of benzoic acid in acetone is 1.350 M
