Title: Organic Lab help on pH questions
Post by: Vinay on April 04, 2009, 08:21:59 AM
When you lower the pH of a solution containing aqueous sodium ben¬zoate, a precipitate eventually forms. What will happen if you then raise the pH by adding aqueous NaOH? Why will this happen? Write a bal¬anced equation for the proton transfer reaction involved and label the stronger acid, stronger base, weaker acid, and weaker base.
