Calculate the ratio of dissolved benzoic acid to benzoate ion that will exist in solution at equilibrium at a pH of 2.00. The acid equilibrium constant (K a ) for benzoic acid is 6.46 * 10 ^ (- 5) . Note that this calculation doesn't account for the benzoic acid that has precipitated from solution, but you can assume that the higher the ratio, the more benzoic acid will precipitate. Then, Carry out the same calculation for a pH of 4.00, and explain why it was important to reduce the pH to below 4 in this experiment.

Acid-Base Equilibria Many factors contribute to the acidity of organic compounds. Electronegativity, resonance, induction, hybridization, aromaticity, and atomic size, all play a role. In the following comparisons, you are asked to identify the factor(s) that would be most important to analyze when predicting relative acidity, and then to predict the trend in acidity and pKa values. For each of the following pairs of compounds answer the following two multiple-choice questions. 1. What factor(s) are the most important to consider when predicting the relative acidity of the two compounds? a. Electronegativity of the atom possessing the hydrogen. b. Resonance stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. c. Inductive stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. d. Hybridization of the atom possessing the hydrogen. e. The atomic size of the atom possessing the hydrogen.

Can yopu help me correcting this: NOTE:(I really did want you to state what IMFs exist between the acetic acid and water, and what happens to the number of them as the acid hydrocarbon chain grows, and that effect on solubility.)
