Dissolve the mixture in an apolar organic solvent, such as diethyl ether, and extract the acid with the addition of NaOH. The bezoic acid with ionize and go into the aqueous solution. Separate the...
well Naphtali has a much lower boiling point so u can distill it off, or u can add water wich the benzoic acid is slightly soluble in, than boil it off.
No, benzoic acid is not soluble in hydrochloric acid. However if you boil the benzoic acid to where it is water soluable and add hydrochloric acid it forms it back into the solid
Benzoic acid is the stronger acid compared to ethanoic acid. This is due to the delocalisation of the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom into the benzene, increasing the polarity of the -OH...
