Chapter 8, Problem 71P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

If benzoic acid, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}\text{COOH}$ can readily dissolve in aqueous NaOH or pure water should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The acid is a substance that gives ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions in the aqueous solution and base is a substance that gives ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions. The acid and base react to form salt and water this is known as neutralization reaction. The more is the strength of acid or base, more easily they react with each other.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

If benzoic acid, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}\text{COOH}$ can readily dissolve in aqueous NaHCO₃ or pure water should be determined.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

If benzoic acid, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}\text{COOH}$ can readily dissolve in aqueous Na₂ CO₃ or pure water should be determined.
