Want this question answered?
what is the reaction of benzoic acid with sodium bicarbonate
CH3cooh + NAHCO3
Sodium benzoate (ionic) and water (covalent)
Hydrochloric acid.
Bubbles are mostly of carbon dioxide which are produced by the Action of sodium bicarbonate on remaining amount of benzoic acid.
what is the reaction of benzoic acid with sodium bicarbonate
When you deprotonate benzoic acid with 2-napthonal, carbonic acid is produced. With sodium bicarbonate, it splits into sodium and bicarbonate ions.
C6H5COOH + NaHCO3 ===> C6H5COO-Na+ + H2O + CO2
Benzoic acid will give brisk effervescence on reacting with sodium bicarbonate.

benzoic acid + Sodium Hydroxide ==> water + sodium benzoate
Sodium bicarbonate will react with hydrochloric acid to form sodium chloride. NaHCO3 + HCl --> NaCl + H2O + CO2
Yes, Benzoic acid is a weak acid (pKa ~ 4.2) that will dissolve in weak base such as sodium bicarbonate (pKa ~ 6.4)
They may be distinguish by treating their solutions with sodium bicarbonate, benzoic acid produces the bubbles of carbon dioxide but phenyl compounds do not.
