The Benzoic Acid Reagent is an aromatic carboxylic acid used for controlled organic chemistry demonstrations, weak-acid studies, recrystallisation practice, melting-point work, and supervised chemical-analysis procedures. It is suitable for trained chemistry teachers, laboratory technicians, authorised school and college laboratories, distributors, and procurement teams requiring verified identity, SDS review, and safe powder handling.

Product Description

Benzoic Acid Reagent from School Equipments India is prepared for the laboratory chemicals, chemical-analysis reagents, and organic acid reagents category. A direct verified product page for this exact chemical was not found, so grade, assay, particle form, pack size, container type, SDS, COA, batch number, and expiry or retest date must be confirmed before catalogue upload or ordering.

Benzoic acid is a solid aromatic acid with formula C₇H₆O₂, also written as C₆H₅COOH. Its CAS number is 65-85-0. It is commonly supplied as white crystals or powder and is used in laboratories where a weak organic acid or aromatic carboxylic acid is specified by an approved method.

Key Features

• Aromatic organic acid: useful for teaching benzoic acid structure, acidity, solubility, and organic functional groups.
• Formula C₆H₅COOH: supports stoichiometry, molecular-weight calculations, and organic chemistry documentation.
• White crystal or powder form: suitable for controlled weighing, transfer, and demonstration work.
• Recrystallisation relevance: commonly used in supervised purification and melting-point teaching exercises.
• Dust-control handling: avoid airborne powder during weighing, transfer, and cleanup.
• Procurement-safe listing: unverified pack size, assay, grade, and documents are marked for confirmation.

How to Use the Benzoic Acid

1. Read the current SDS, COA, product label, and laboratory risk assessment before use.
2. Confirm grade, assay, particle form, and method suitability before weighing or dispensing.
3. Wear safety goggles, suitable gloves, and a lab coat before handling.
4. Use a clean, dry spatula and take only the quantity required by the approved procedure.
5. Avoid generating dust during transfer, weighing, mixing, grinding, or cleanup.
6. Keep away from strong oxidants, strong reducing agents, strong bases, ignition sources, and incompatible materials.
7. Label prepared solutions or mixtures with name, concentration, date, preparer, and hazard information.
8. Dispose of residues according to institutional chemical-waste procedures.

Safety note: Benzoic acid powder can irritate eyes, skin, and the respiratory tract, and finely dispersed particles may create a dust hazard. Students should use it only under trained teacher or laboratory-technician supervision.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in the original labelled container in a dry chemical-storage area.
• Keep away from incompatible chemicals, open flames, food items, moisture, and unauthorised users.
• Use clean and dry dispensing tools to prevent contamination and caking.
• Dispose of contaminated, unlabelled, or expired reagent through approved laboratory procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Benzoic Acid used for in a laboratory?

Benzoic Acid is used for authorised organic chemistry demonstrations, weak-acid studies, recrystallisation practice, melting-point work, solution preparation, and chemical-analysis procedures where benzoic acid is required.

What is the CAS number of benzoic acid?

The CAS number of benzoic acid is 65-85-0. This number should be used to match the SDS, COA, product label, and procurement record.

What is the formula of benzoic acid?

The formula of benzoic acid is C₇H₆O₂, also written as C₆H₅COOH. Its molecular weight is about 122.1 g/mol.

Is benzoic acid soluble in water?

Benzoic acid is only slightly soluble in water at room temperature. Solubility conditions should be checked against the approved laboratory method before solution preparation.

Is Benzoic Acid suitable for school laboratories?

Yes, it can be used in supervised school and college laboratories when teachers or technicians control PPE, weighing, dust prevention, heating, labelling, storage, and disposal.

Can this Benzoic Acid be used for food or pharmaceutical applications?

No food, pharmaceutical, medical, or ingestion use should be assumed. This page describes laboratory reagent use only unless a separate verified specification confirms another purpose.
