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!
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
Is benzene the same as benzoate?
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. See the Web Links to the left of this answer for more information.
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.
Prepare O-nitrotoluene from benzene and show reactions involved?
O-Nitrotoluene can be prepared from benzene via a multistep reaction process. First, benzene is nitrated to form nitrobenzene using a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Next, nitrobenzene is methylated to form o-nitrotoluene by reacting it with methyl iodide in the presence of a base like sodium hydroxide. The final product is then separated and purified using appropriate techniques.
How do you determine the partition coefficient of benzoic acid between benzene and water?
To determine the partition coefficient of benzoic acid between benzene and water, you would first measure the concentrations of benzoic acid in each solvent layer after equilibrium is reached. Then, calculate the partition coefficient by dividing the concentration of benzoic acid in benzene by the concentration in water at equilibrium. This ratio represents how the compound distributes between the two solvents.
How can you distinguish between benzoic acid and benzene?
Benzoic acid will give brisk effervescence on reacting with sodium bicarbonate.
Are benzene and benzoate the same?
No, benzene and benzoate are not the same. Benzene is a hydrocarbon compound with a ring structure, while benzoate is the salt or ester of benzoic acid.
What is oxidation of benzene?
Oxidation of benzene involves the addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen from benzene molecules. This process typically leads to the formation of products with more oxygen-containing functional groups, such as phenol or benzoic acid. Oxidation of benzene can be catalyzed by various reagents or conditions, such as nitric acid or metal catalysts.

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.
How does the structure of salicylic acid differ from that of benzoic acid?
Salicylic acid has a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the benzene ring, while benzoic acid has a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to the benzene ring. This difference results in salicylic acid being a phenol derivative and having different chemical properties compared to benzoic acid.
Effect hot solution containing dissolved benzoic acid immediately placed ice bath?
Cooling the hot solution containing dissolved benzoic acid in an ice bath will cause the benzoic acid to crystallize out of solution due to the decrease in temperature. This rapid cooling process helps to promote the formation of pure benzoic acid crystals and allows for easier separation from the solution.
Is benzoic acid an organic or inorganic compound?
The formula for benzoic acid is C7H6O2. As a rule, compounds that are cheifly variants of C, H, and O are organic, as is benzoic acid.
Is benzoic acid soluble?
Benzoic acid is soluble in water, as are all acids, by definition. An acid is a chemical which, when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of H+ ions.
What is the functional groups of benzoic acid?
The functional group of benzoic acid is a carboxylic acid group, which consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydroxyl group (OH) attached to a benzene ring. This gives benzoic acid its acidic properties.
In the laboratory a student named Georgia weighed 5.35 grams of an unknown solid mixture containing benzoic acid copper II sulfate and sand she added 15 ml of acetone to her sample which dissolved?
The benzoic acid in the mixture dissolved in the acetone because it is soluble in acetone. Copper (II) sulfate does not dissolve in acetone like benzoic acid does. The sand in the mixture does not dissolve in acetone as it is insoluble.
