Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Difference in solubilities of benzoic acid and 4-hydroxyacetanilide in aqueous sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, and water should be explained.

Concept introduction: Solubility is the property of a substance that enables it to dissolve in solvents. This property depends on the physical and chemical properties of solute and solvent. It also depends on the temperature and pressure of other substances present in the solution.

Explain why benzocaine precipitates during the neutralization.
The compound acetophenone has a very similar molar mass to that of benzoic acid and benzamide. However, acetophenone has a much lower m.p. (20 °C) than both such that, by contrast, it is a liquid at room temperature. By considering intermolecular forces and comparing functional group structure, account for this big difference in physical properties.
Why is ethyl alcohol and water in liquid form an azeotropic mixture?
