The reaction between acid(benzoic acid) and base(propan-2-ol) gives salt and water. The water being produced means it is a condensation reaction. This reaction is reversible.
Forward reaction= Condensation
Backward reaction= Hydrolysis
Word equation:
Benzoic acid + Propan-2-ol = 1-methylethyl benzoate + water
Chemical Equation:
C6H5COOH + CH3(CHOH)CH3 = C6H5COOCH(CH3)2 + H2O

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
What is the derivative of benzoic acid?
Salts of the benzoic acids are called benzoates.
Why is it necessary to extract the ether layer with sodium hydroxide?
In this step of the experiment you are trying to separate benzoic acid from biphenyl an impurity. Sodium hydroxide reacts with benzoic acid to form (ar-O-O(-)na(+)) and (H2O), this allows for the ether layer containing biphenyl to separate as the precipitant, which we can now extract and discard.
What is ammonium benzoate?
Ammonium benzoate is an organic salt of benzoic acid. This salt may be formed by reacting benzoic acid with liquid ammonia, C6H5-COOH + NH3 = C6H5-COO-(NH4+) Benzoic acid and benzoates are sometimes used in foods or beverages as preservatives.
If benzoic acid were heated at 140 degrees Celsius what would happen?
When Benzoic acid is heated beyond its boiling point, it starts precipitating snow like solids.
What are the products when ethanol and benzoic acid combine?
in presence of H2SO4 , benzoic acid reacts with ethanol and forms ethyl benzoate which is an aromatic ester.
What is the product formed when benzoic acid reacts with ethanol?
An ester , Ethylbenzoate and water.

Why toluene does not react with acidic or alkaline permanganates?
Toluene reacts with acidic permanganate on heating and forms the Benzoic acid.
Which is more acidic formic acid or benzoic acid?
Benzoic Acid
Is benzoic acid soluble in kerosene.?
Benzoic acid is soluble in kerosene.
Why o-hydroxy benzoic acid is strong than m-hydroxy benzoic acid?
nswers for Orthohydroxybenzoic Acid Is More Acidic Then The Parahydroxy Benzoic Acid
Is Benzoic acid intensive or extensive?
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.
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.
Chemical name of salicyclic acid?
O-hydroxy benzoic acid or 2-hydroxy benzoic acid.
Is benzoic acid a strong or weak acid?
Yes. Benzoic acid is an organic compond with the formula C7H5CO2H
What is the solubility of Benzoic acid in acetone?
Solubility of benzoic acid in acetone is 1.350 M
