Formic acid is produced as a by-product in the manufacture of acetic acid. However, the industrial demand for formic acid is higher than can be made from this route, so dedicated production routes have been developed. One method combines methanol and carbon monoxide in the presence of a strong base, such as sodium methoxide, to produce methyl formate, according to the chemical equation:

To make a saturated solution of benzoic acid using benzene as the solvent how much is need of each?
I can't find a number, but I found this: Benzoic acid is slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, very slightly soluble in benzene and acetone. (see link on the left under Web Links) This implies not very much benzoic acid will dissolve in benzene. This other site (the MSDS for benzoic acid) says this: 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. This does make it sound fairly soluble! Hard to say which is right. This can easily be determined by experiment however!
What 2 substances will be formed when hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide?
HCl + NaOH = H2O + NaCl Or, water and table salt--which will dissolve in water. Benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, will not be formed; neither of the two starting chemicals contains carbon, and benzoic acid contains a lot of it. - - - - - Benzoic acid and sodium chloride
