Explanation:

Preparation and reactions

It is usually prepared by the dehydration reaction of benzoic acid, e.g. using acetic anhydride: 2 C6H5CO2H + (CH3CO)2O → (C6H5CO)2O + 2 CH3CO2H. Alternatively, sodium benzoate can be treated with benzoyl chloride. It can be produced by dehydrating benzoic acid by heating.

Chemical formula: C; 14H; 10O; 3

Melting point: 42 °C (108 °F; 315 K)

Boiling point: 360 °C (680 °F; 633 K)

Flash point: 113 °C (235 °F; 386 K)
