Why benzoic acid is comaritively weaker acid than acetic acid?
Because acetic acid have methyl group ,a electron donating group
Does benzoic acid have an odor?
Acetic acid is an aliphatic (fatty) acid and a liquid while benzoic acid is an aromatic acid which exists in solid state.
Which is more acidic benzoic acid or acetic acid?
Benzoic acid is the stronger acid compared to ethanoic acid. However, ethanoic acid is more corrosive and will burn skin etc more than benzoic acid. Corrosivity/burn potential are not the same as acid strength. This is due to the delocalisation of the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom into the benzene, increasing the polarity of the -OH bond and thus makes the cleaving of the H+ ion easier. The delocalisation of electrons into the benzene ring also stabilises the carboxylate ion. Therefore the position of equilibrium lies more to the right and this shows that benzoic is a more acidic acid. The simplified version is that a benzene ring is electron withdrawing and a methyl group is electron releasing. The electron withdrawing power makes the releasing of the H+ ion easier.
How can you distinguish between benzoic acid and benzene?
Benzoic acid will give brisk effervescence on reacting with sodium bicarbonate.
How do you determine the partition coefficient of benzoic acid between benzene and water?
To determine the partition coefficient of benzoic acid between benzene and water, you would first measure the concentrations of benzoic acid in each solvent layer after equilibrium is reached. Then, calculate the partition coefficient by dividing the concentration of benzoic acid in benzene by the concentration in water at equilibrium. This ratio represents how the compound distributes between the two solvents.
Is acetic acid anything like acetic acid?
Yes. Acetic acid is a lot like acetic acid.
Name the acid HC2H3O2?
That is the condensed formula for the weak acid acetic acid.CH3COOH is a common formula for acetic acid written by biochemists and biologists
What is the difference between acetic acid and ethanoic acid?
There is no difference between acetic acid and ethanoic acid - they are the same compound with the chemical formula CH3COOH. "Acetic acid" is the common name used in the IUPAC nomenclature system, while "ethanoic acid" is the systematic (or traditional) name for the compound.
What is the common name of diluted acetic acid?
Acetic acid, C2H4O2, is an organic acid which gives vinegar its sour taste and pungent smell.Added:Acetic acid is the common name for ethanoic acid, CH3COOH.The 5 - 10% food grade solution of acetic acid is called vinegar.
What is the reaction between benzoic acid and neutral ferric chloride?
When benzoic acid reacts with neutral ferric chloride, the resulting reaction forms a complex between the ferric chloride and benzoic acid. This complex is a purple-colored compound known as ferric benzoate, signifying the coordination of the iron ion with the carboxylic group of benzoic acid.
What is the balanced equation for the reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride?
The balanced equation for the reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride to form aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is: salicylic acid + acetic anhydride → aspirin + acetic acid.
Is benzoic acid covalent or ionic bond?
Benzoic acid contains covalent bonds. It is a carboxylic acid with the molecular formula C7H6O2. Covalent bonds are formed by sharing electrons between atoms, which is the case in the molecules of benzoic acid.
