What is the solubility of Benzoic acid in acetone?
Solubility of benzoic acid in acetone is 1.350 M
What is the solubility of benzoic acid in chloroform?
it is soluble in chloroform. Chloroform is nonpolar.
Is it possible make a saturated solution of benzoic acid using methylene chloride as the solvent?
You can make a saturated solution of anything in any solvent. The question is how much will actually be dissolved in the saturated solution. A saturated solution of salt in water will obviously have a LOT of salt in it. A saturated solution of sand in water won't have any dissolved sand at all! It'll still be saturated. What you want to know is what the solubility of benzoic acid is in methylene chloride. That I don't know. One way to find out is just add a known amount of benzoic acid to the solvent and see if it dissolves. If you search the scientific literature of organic synthesis, I'm sure the solubility of benzoic acid is known in a variety of solvents, although methylene chloride isn't the most common. I found this in the MSDS (see link to the left): SOLUBILITY IN WATER: 2.9% @ 20 C SOLVENT SOLUBILITY: Soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene, chloroform,acetone, carbon disulfide, oil of turpentine, carbon tetrachloride, fixed and volatile oils; slightly soluble in petroleum ether, hexane. The other link, ChemicalForums.com, seems to imply that it is soluble, but no data is given. Check out this for more on benzoic acid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzoic_acid
What happens when NaOH dissolves in water?
Benzoic acid is only slightly soluble in water. When warmed up it will dissolve. It can then be filtered and cooled down and the benzoic acid will crystallize out. This is a method use to purify the substance.
In the laboratory a student named Georgia weighed 5.35 grams of an unknown solid mixture containing benzoic acid copper II sulfate and sand she added 15 ml of acetone to her sample which dissolved?
benzoic acid
What is the solubility of Benzoic acid in acetone?
Solubility of benzoic acid in acetone is 1.350 M
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..
What is the solubility of benzoic acid in chloroform?
it is soluble in chloroform. Chloroform is nonpolar.
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.
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.
Why is it necessary to filter the benzoic acid solution while hot?
At low temperature it has poor solubility and would crystallize out

Effect hot solution containing dissolved benzoic acid immediately placed ice bath?
it melts
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.
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.
