Why is ice cold water rather than room temperature or warm water used to wash the remainder of the benzoic acid out of the beake
1 answer:
Filtration, is a chemical process where you are separating a precipitate from a solution.
As a general rule:
"Solubility of compounds decrease with the increasing of temperature" as you can see in the graph
Now, if you want to recover benzoic acid from an aqueous solution, the better option would be with Ice cold water because its solubility will be lower producing more precipitate.

Balancing of chemical equation is essential because of the law of conservation of mass, which states that the mass of a system can not be created or removed.
The second equation is balanced
This is because the number of elements of each atom in the product side equal the number of elements of each atom on the reactant side.
The first equation is not balanced
This is because there is 1 molecule of on reactant side as compared to 3 molecules of
To balance the equation we add a coefficient of 3 on sulphuric acid () and a coefficient of 3 on hydrogen (
