Which is more acidic formic acid or benzoic acid?
Benzoic Acid
Is benzamide acidic?
No; the derivate benzoic acid is of course acidic.

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.
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.

What is the picricacid formual?
picric acid (or 2,4,6-trinitrophenol) is more acidic than benzoic acid The pKa or picric acid is 0.3 and that of benzoic acid is 4.2
Why toluene does not react with acidic or alkaline permanganates?
Toluene reacts with acidic permanganate on heating and forms the Benzoic acid.
Why 4 hydroxy benzoic acid is less acidic than 2 hydroxy benzoic acid?
as because in 2-hydroxy benzoic acid, there is a possibility of H-bonding which makes the dissociated ion stable and will not combine with H+ ion leaving it free, while it is not so in case of 4-hydroxy benzoic acid.

Is benzoic acid soluble in kerosene.?
Benzoic acid is soluble in kerosene.
Which is more acidic benzoic acid or o-acetylbenzoic acid?
They have about the same strength. However, 2-acetylbenzoic acid should be slightly more acidic due to electron push from the oxygen atoms (and we are talking only SLIGHTLY). o-acetyl groups can be used to direct reactions to a particular position on the benzoic ring...depending on which reaction, and which position you are trying to diversify... I believe...
What causes a bitter taste?
Any acidic compound in the food. For example, citric acid (citrus fruit), tannic acid (tea), acetic acid (vinegar), benzoic acid (cranberries), and oxalic acid (pepper).
Is Benzoic acid intensive or extensive?
Neither. Benzoic acid is... benzoic acid. Intensive and extensive are properties are characteristics of elements and compounds such as color, density, odor, conductivity, etc. To say benzoic acid is extensive or benzoic acid is intensive doesn't make sense.
