?Benzoic acid, \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{COOH}\), melts at \(122^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The density in the liquid state at \(130^{\circ} \
Chapter 11, Problem 11.14(choose chapter or problem)
Benzoic acid, \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{COOH}\), melts at \(122^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The density in the liquid state at \(130^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is \(1.08 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\). The density of solid benzoic acid at \(15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is \(1.266 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\).
(a) In which of these two states is the average distance between molecules greater?
(b) If you converted a cubic centimeter of liquid benzoic acid into a solid, would the solid take up more, or less, volume than the original cubic centimeter of liquid?
