In a 100 mL volumetric flask, accurately prepare an approximately 0.02 M aqueous benzoic acid by dissolving the 0.01606g of benzoic acid in about 20 mL and diluting In a separatory funnel place 25 mL of 0.02 M benzoic acid solution and 25 mL of 1-octanol. Discarded the 1-octanol phase and titrated the aqueous phase against 5.9mL of the 0.02M NaOH. Calculate (showing full working, including concentration/titration calculations) the values for benzoic acid partition coefficient PH, and Pka

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

Using the HendersonHasselbalch equation we can calculate the pKa of benzoic acid as follows pKa log1... View the full answer
