In regular Mello Yello there is no benzoic acid. There may be in diet or other variations of the brand. In order to find out how much is in it you will need to contact Coca-Cola. There should be a contact number on the product.
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!
Benzene is a non polar solvent with low dielectric constant, whereas water is a polar solvent with high dielectric constant. So water can reduce the interaction between benzoic acid molecules there by preventing them from dimerizing, which cannot be done by benzene
Not much .

A pill that consists of hydroxide compounds which neautralize the acid. Acid (H+) neutralizes with the hydroxide in the pill (OH-) causing water (H2O).
In a 20oz bottle of Mello Yello there are 78 grams of sugar. There will be less in a 12oz can.
A 20 0z bottle of Mello Yello has 78 grams of sugar. Based on this information a 12 oz serving should have about 47 grams.
According to the side of the can... Mello Yello contains 51mg/12oz of Caffeine..
According to the last can I drank a few hours ago, Mello Yello has 47 grams of sugar.
depends on how much benzoic acid you use. if you have 0.5g of benzoic acid , you need 30ml of water as a solvent.
Pretty much nothing except for the fact that they are made by different companies.
well Naphtali has a much lower boiling point so u can distill it off, or u can add water wich the benzoic acid is slightly soluble in, than boil it off.
Benzoic Acid has a melting point of 122oC. If your sample did not melt even at 200oC, then you can only assume that the sample in Whole or Part was not Benzoic Acid. It must have been contaminated with some other compound with a much higher melting point.
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).

Silver Nitrate solution produces a white precipitate in the presence of chloride ion. The equation is AgNO3 + Cl- ----> AgCl(s) . So if benzoic acid is completely free of sodium chloride there will be no white precipitate. You can go a stage further by weighing an aliquot of benzoic acid crystals and titrating with a known strength silver nitrate solution. By calculation you can then find just exactly how much sodium chloride is left contaminating the benzoic acid.
