Best Answer

No. Bensene and Benzoate are not the same. Benzene has the formula C6H6 (a ring of 6 carbons, each with a hydrogen bonded to it), and benzoate has the formula C6H5COO−. Benzoate is a benzene molecule that has a carboxylic acid group attached to it (except that the acid group is deprotonated). Benzoate is the conjugate base of benzoic acid.

No, they're two different compounds. Benzoic acid (which is the IUPAC name as well as the common name) is C6H5COOH; benzyl alcohol (IUPAC: phenylmethanol) is C6H5CH2OH.

to some degree they both sanitize..isopropyl alcohol dries quicker than benzalkonium...alcohol is more flammable...alcohol does not break down in dirt...they do however sterilize

What by products would you expect from the nitration of methyl benzoate?

Benzoate indicates a COO- group attached to the benzene ring. This is a deactivating group and deactivates the benzene ring as well as is a meta directing group. Hence, two products could form. 1. Monosubstitution - results in 3-nitromethylbenzoate 2. Disubstitution - results in 3,5-dinitromethylbenzoate

Does diet Pepsi contain benzene?

Benzene, an industrial chemical, is a carcinogen. It is not an ingredient in any carbonated beverage. However when sodium benzoate is combined with ascorbic acid or citric acid it can break down into benzene. Coca cola has removed certain drinks from the market, but there are still studies that show many coke products contain benzene, such as sprite and Dr Pepper. So what you should worry about is sodium benzoate, which is what can turn into benzene.

How do you convert benzene to toluene?

Toluene + HNO3/H2SO4 --> p-nitrotoluene (para directed nitration) p-nitrotoluene + Zn/HCl --> p-aminotoluene (changing NO2 to NH2 by reduction) p-aminotoluene +Br2 --> bromination ortho to NH2 Remove NH2 via diazonium salt and decomposition with 1) HONO (which is NaNO2+HCl), 2) H3PO2 for the final product.


How do you detect benzene in the Grignard synthesis of benzoic acid?

Not sure what you mean... If you mean 'how is benzene used for the Grignard synthesis of Benzoic Acid,' then the answer is, bromobenzene (C6H5Br) is turned into phenyl Grignard (C6H5MgBr) by the addition of Magnesium in ether, and then dry ice (solid CO2) is added to the reaction mixture to make Benzoate (C6H5COO-), which is the conjugate base of Benzoic Acid. That has got to help you somehow.
