The solubility of benzoic acid in water is:

0.29g/100mL at 20°C

6.8g/100mL at 100°C

a) What is the maximum mass of benzoic acid that would crystallize out of solution if 8.0g of benzoic acid was dissolved in 150mL of boiling water, filtered while hot, cooled to room temperature (20°C), filtered with suction and dried?

b) If you had a 2.00g sample of impure benzoic acid, what volume of water would you use for recrystallization to give a good recovery of a pure sample?
