The solubility of benzoic acid (HC7H5O2), is 0.34 g/100 mL

Chapter 11, Problem 87

(choose chapter or problem)

The solubility of benzoic acid (HC7H5O2), is 0.34 g/100 mL in water at 25C and is 10.0 g/100 mL in benzene (C6H6) at 25C. Rationalize this solubility behavior. (Hint: Benzoic acid forms a dimer in benzene.) Would benzoic acid be more or less soluble in a 0.1 M NaOH solution than it is in water? Explain.
