explain why benzoic acid is insolube in water at room temperature but is soluble in 2.5M NaOH solution

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It is known generally that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents. Based on the structure of benzoic acid, it comprises the non-polar C6H6 group and polar COOH group. Based on the structure, in benzoic acid, the nonpolar hydrocarbon outweighs and influences the polar part as nonpolar, due to which benzoic acid is not soluble in water.

On the other hand, benzoic acid produces sodium salt benzoic acid when it reacts with 2.5 M sodium hydroxide, this salt is ionic. Generally, the ionic compounds are soluble in water. Therefore, the salt of benzoic acid gets dissolved in water. Hence, benzoic acid is soluble in the solution of sodium hydroxide.

what Is the number of photons in one J of red light (650 nm) greater than, equal to, or less than the number of photons in one J
valentinak56 [21]
For the same amount of energy, the number of photons in red light will be greater than the number of photons in blue light.
This is because the energy carried by a photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the photon. A longer wavelength means there is a lower energy in the photons and a shorter wavelength means that there is a higher energy. Therefore, in order for the photons to deliver one joule of energy, more of the red light photons will be required.
