Formic acid is more acidic than benzoic acid. This is because formic acid has a simpler molecular structure with a hydrogen atom attached to a carboxyl group, making it easier to release the acidic hydrogen ion compared to benzoic acid, which has a more complex aromatic ring structure.
The products of the thermal degradation of benzoic acid are carbon dioxide and water.
Salicylic acid has a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the benzene ring, while benzoic acid has a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to the benzene ring. This difference results in salicylic acid being a phenol derivative and having different chemical properties compared to benzoic acid.
Solubility of benzoic acid in acetone is 1.350 M
To extract benzoic acid from chloroform, first dissolve the benzoic acid in water. Then, add chloroform to the mixture and shake well to allow for the benzoic acid to transfer to the chloroform phase. Finally, separate the two phases and evaporate the chloroform to obtain the benzoic acid.

The formula for benzoic acid is C7H6O2. As a rule, compounds that are cheifly variants of C, H, and O are organic, as is benzoic acid.

Benzoic acid is soluble in kerosene.

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.
O-hydroxy benzoic acid or 2-hydroxy benzoic acid.
It is the ethyl ester of 4-hydroxy benzoic acid. Its structure is HO-Phenyl-C(=O)-O-CH3. It synthesised by refluxing Ethanol with 4-hydroxy benzoic acid. It is used as a food preservative.
The trade name for benzoic acid is E210.
