Sodium benzoate (c6h5coona), the sodium salt of the weak acid benzoic acid, is used as a food preservative. a solution is prepared by dissolving 0.100 mol of sodium benzoate in enough pure water to produce 1.00 l of solution. if the pka for benzoic acid is 4.20, calculate the ph of the sodium benzoate solution.

Seltzer water is created by placing water under pressure with carbon dioxide gas. which of the following statements best describe seltzer water: a. the solution will be slightly acidic b. the solution will be slightly basic. the solution will be strongly acidic. d. the solution will be strongly basic. e. the solution will be neutral

Predict the reactants of this chemical reaction. that is, fill in the left side of the chemical equation. be sure the equation you submit is balanced. (you can edit both sides of the equation to balance it, if you need to.) note: you are writing the molecular, and not the net ionic equation. > cacl2(aq) + h20(l)
