Chemistry

Reika [66]3 years ago
7 0
The acid dissociation constant of benzoic acid is 6.5 x 10^-5. Therefore, the pH of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate is:

pH = -log[Ka]
pH = -log (6.5 x 10^-5)
pH = 4.19

The pH of the benzoic acid solution is 4.19 which is acidic, but a weak acid.

If you observe the IEs sequentially, there is a large gap between the 2nd and 3rd. This suggests it is difficult to remove more than 2 two electrons. Elements that lose two electrons to become more stable are found in the Group 2A (2 representing the number of electrons in the outermost valence shell).</span>
