Benzoic acid is a weak acid that has antimicrobial properties. Its sodium salt, sodium benzoate, is a preservative found in foods, medications, and personal hygiene products. Benzoic acid dissociates in water: C6H5COOHâC6H5COOâ+H+ The pKa of this reaction is 4.2. In a 0.62 M solution of benzoic acid, what percentage of the molecules are ionized? Express the percentage numerically using two significant figures.
