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 is the percent by mass of benzene in a solution containing 14.2 g of bezene in 28.0 g of carbon tetrachloride?
If it is pure benzene and CCl4 your answer is; % Benzene = (m Benzene)/(m Total)*100 = 14.2 / (14.2 + 28) * 100 = 33.65 % If the solution is benzene and CCl4 dissolved in water or another solvent, the answer depends entirely on how much solvent you have.
Why does benzoic acid form a dimer in benzene and not in water?
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
What is the partition coefficient of benzoic acid in water and benzene if 250mg of benzoic acid is dissolved in 50ml water and 50ml benzene?
Using the formula : K= compound per ml of organic solvent/ compound per ml of water.You have 4 mg left in the aqueous layer, hence, 31 mg in the organic layer. Converting mg to g you have: (.031g / 5ml) / (.004g/ 10ml) = 15.5.
Why does thermocol dissolve in benzene?
Thermocol is another name for polystyrene (PS), which is a type of plastic. Benzene is an industrial solvent, and it's primary use is to make styrene. The chemical structure of benzene, a non-polar organic hydrocarbon solvent, and of PS is such that benzene will dissolve styrene and polystyrene.
What is the molarity of pure liquid benzene?
Molarity is a concentration unit of solutions, pure benzene is not a solution so this term is meaningless for a pure liquid. In other words: Molarity of a solution is a numerical way of saying exactly how much solute is dissolved in a solvent .Molarity is equal to the moles of solute divided by the liters of solution. Molarity of a solution can be calculated by using the following formula: M= moles of solute/liters of solution
Is it possible make a saturated solution of benzoic acid using methylene chloride as the solvent?
You can make a saturated solution of anything in any solvent. The question is how much will actually be dissolved in the saturated solution. A saturated solution of salt in water will obviously have a LOT of salt in it. A saturated solution of sand in water won't have any dissolved sand at all! It'll still be saturated. What you want to know is what the solubility of benzoic acid is in methylene chloride. That I don't know. One way to find out is just add a known amount of benzoic acid to the solvent and see if it dissolves. If you search the scientific literature of organic synthesis, I'm sure the solubility of benzoic acid is known in a variety of solvents, although methylene chloride isn't the most common. I found this in the MSDS (see link to the left): SOLUBILITY IN WATER: 2.9% @ 20 C 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. The other link, ChemicalForums.com, seems to imply that it is soluble, but no data is given. Check out this for more on benzoic acid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzoic_acid
What solutions one that contains as much solute as can be dissolved in the solvent?
That solution is called saturated.
When a solvent is holding the maximum amount of solute for that given temperature?
A saturated solution
How do you know solution is saturated?
The solution is saturated when no more solute dissolves in the solvent.
How do you know when solution is saturated?
The solution is saturated when no more solute dissolves in the solvent.
How do know when a solution is saturated?
The solution is saturated when no more solute dissolves in the solvent.
What is over saturated solution?
When a solute cannot be dissolved further in a solvent, at a given temeperature, the solution is saturated; if this amount of solvent is exceeded the solution is oversaturated.
What is an over saturated solutions?
When a solute cannot be dissolved further in a solvent, at a given temeperature, the solution is saturated; if this amount of solvent is exceeded the solution is oversaturated.
What is the type of solution with so much solute that no more will dissolve?
When a solute is added to a solvent until no more dissolves, the solution is said to be saturated. In some cases a solution can be made to be supersaturated by temporarily increasing the solubility of the solvent, such as through an increase in temperature.
When solution can't hold more solute?
when a solvent can hold no more solute it is called saturated

What is formed when solute dissolves in a solvent?
saturated solution
