Is banzoic acid a strong acid?

Benzoic acid is a weak acid with a pKa of about 4.2. This means it does not completely dissociate in water, making it a weak acid compared to strong acids like hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid.


The benzoate anion is the conjugate base of the benzoic acid. Potassium benzoate forms a basic solution in water so benzoic acid is a?

weak acid.


Is hypochlorous acid a strong or weak acid?

Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid. It is a fairly weak acid compared to strong acids like hydrochloric acid.


Equation for reaction of phenol and benzoic acid?

Benzoic acid has a chemical formula of PhCOOH. It does not react with water so much as it dissociates in it, forming a free hydrogen ion. The reaction for the dissociation is PhCOOH(aq) --> PhCOO-(aq) + H+ (aq).


Is the conjugate of a strong base is a weak acid?

NaHCO3 is a weak base, with a conjugate acid of H2CO3+.


Is MgCl2 a weak or strong acid?

It is a weak acid


Is C6H5COOH an acid or base?

C6H5COOH, also known as benzoic acid, is an acid. It has a carboxylic acid group that can donate a proton, making it acidic.


Is hypochlorous acid a strong or weak acid?

Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid.


What makes a strong acid differ from a weak acid?

A strong acid dissociates more completely than a weak acid.


When weak acids react with strong acids?

When weak acids react with strong acids, the strong acid will donate a proton to the weak acid, resulting in the weak acid being protonated. This protonation increases the concentration of the weak acid cation. The conjugate base of the weak acid is formed as a result.


Why is benzoic acid is extracted into ether then extracted into an alkali solution prior to being precipitated with strong acid in its preparation with grignard reagent?

When you're attempting to extract benzoic acid from other organic compounds, it is necessary to change its pH by adding a layer of an basic compound such as 1M NaOH so that the benzoic acid then can be separated from the organic layer within a separatory funnel. When in NaOH, the benzoic acid loses a proton and thus becomes its conjugate base (the benzoate ion). The benzoate ion is charged and thus become miscible in the aqueous layer. To extract benzoic acid (ie get it to precipitate out of solution), a strong acid such as HCl must be added to solution. After the extraction, lower the pH of the solution, and recrystalize (use ice after the recrystalization to get benzoic acid crystals to crash out).


What is the equation for the reaction of benzoic acid and zinc oxide?

The reaction between benzoic acid and zinc oxide does not lead to a simple single equation because benzoic acid is a weak acid that does not readily form salts with metals like zinc. However, if the reaction were to occur, it might involve the displacement of hydrogen from benzoic acid by zinc to form zinc benzoate and hydrogen gas.
