    This document describes the preparation of benzoic acid from benzanilide. Benzanilide undergoes acid-catalyzed hydrolysis in an acidic medium like 70% sulfuric acid to yield benzoic acid as colorless crystals. A mixture of benzanilide and sulfuric acid is boiled for 30 minutes, producing benzoic acid which separates out upon cooling. The theoretical and practical yields of benzoic acid are calculated and the percentage yield is reported.

    PREPARATION OF BENZOIC ACID

    AIM: To prepare and submit benzoic acid from benzanilide


    APPARATUS: Round bottom flask, Reflux condenser, beaker, Funnel, Glass rod
    CHEMICALS: Benzanilide, 70%H2SO4
    PRINCIPLE: The principle involved in the preparation of benzoic acid from benzanilide is acid
    catalysed hydrolytic reation. Benzanilide undergoes hydrolysis in acidic medium to yield benzoic
    acid as colourless crystals. Aniline hydrogen sulphate being water soluble remains in solution
    and solid benzoic acid separates out.
    REACTION:

    H2SO4

    H20

    PROCEDURE: A mixture of 1 gm of benzanilide and 10 ml of 70%H 2SO4 were placed in a


    round bottom flask fitted with a reflux condenser. The mixture was boiled gently for 30
    minutes.10ml of hot water was poured on the inner walls of the condenser to dissolve benzoic
    acid which gets solidified in the condenser. The flask was cooled on ice bath. The benzoic acid
    separates. The solid benzoic acid was filtered off, washed with cold water and dried.
    Calculation:
    Molecular weight of salicylic acid =138g
    Molecular weight of benzoic acid= 180g
