Why can not benzoic acid be dissolved in water at room temperature?

To be soluble a solution must be capable of being dissolved in a solvent, usually water. The HCL cannot ionize into H+ with the COOH ring in the Benzoic acid. Benzoic is hydrophobic in this solution.

∙ 14y agoCyclohexane is a nonpolar solvent. Benzoic acid is polar since its carboxyllic tail -COOH can be deprotonated to COO-. This charge will not only attract other polar molecules of itself, but it will also push away cyclohexane and other molecules with no polarity.

What is the minimum amount of water in which 1 g of benzoic acid can be dissolved?
This depends on the temperature; at 25 oC the volume of water is 300 mL.
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..
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 the solubility of benzoic acid is required. The partition can then be determined by calculation.
How pure benzoic acid may be separated form a solution of sand and benzoic acid?
A solution of sand in (dissolved) benzoic acid will not nbe possible. It is called a (heterogenous) mixture or suspension of sand in this liquid. However the separation can be carried out by filtration, centrifugation or sinking the sand down.
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 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.
What is the minimum amount of water in which 1 g of benzoic acid can be dissolved?
This depends on the temperature; at 25 oC the volume of water is 300 mL.
Is benzoic acid or sucrose more soluble in water?
Benzoic acid solubilty in water at room temperature: 2,9 g/L. Sugar solubilty in water at room temperature: 2000 g/L.
What is the eutectic temperature for benzoic and mandelic acid?
The eutectic temperature for benzoic acid and mendelic acid mixture is 105-106º C. This is usually about 60% mandelic acid and 40% benzoic acid.
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..
How much water should be used for the recrystallisation of benzoic acid?
depends on how much benzoic acid you use. if you have 0.5g of benzoic acid , you need 30ml of water as a solvent.
Does Benzoic Acid react with Hypochlorous Acid in water and room temperature?
I assume that it will not react because benzoic acid cannot be oxidized easily by the hypochlorous acid. I would not try this at a large scale without appropriate safety measures though!
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 the solubility of benzoic acid is required. The partition can then be determined by calculation.
Process of preparation of benzoic acid?
Benzoic acid is produced from toluene and oxygen. The toluene is oxidyzed and a water molecule is released, which resuls in benzoic acid source: wikipedia
What is the chemical name of benzoic acid after heating?
The products of the thermal degradation of benzoic acid are carbon dioxide and water.
What is the product of benzoic acid reacting with NH2?
benzoic acid + Sodium Hydroxide ==> water + sodium benzoate
According to the published solubility what is the minimum amount of water in which 1 gram of benzoic acid can be dissolved?
The solubility of benzoic acid in hot water is 68g/L and 1.7g/L in ice cold water.
