2,4-Pentanedione is a considerably stronger acid than is acetone (Chapter 19). Write a structural formula for the conjugate base of each acid and account for the greater stability of the conjugate base from 2,4-pentanedione.
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.
