Question

To determine the solubility of benzoic acid at different temperature

Answer 1

Answer:-

Solubility of benzoic  acid at different temperature is as follows :-

Temperature (95 °C) -> 68 g/L Solubility

Temperature (90 °C) -> 45.5 g/L Solubility

Temperature (0 °C) -> 1.7 g/L Solubility

The solubility of compound is determined by the amount of material dissolved in a certain amount of solvent.

For Benzoic acid, the ph of the water matters. At high pH, the benzoic acid forms a soluble salt hence the solubility increases as the pH increases. At low pH, benzoic acid doesn’t dissolve as much.
