Benzoic acid is an aromatic carbon acid. It consists of a phenyl residue with a carboxyl group. The salts and esters of benzoic acid are termed benzoates, e.g. sodium benzoate, natrium benzoate. Benzoic acid forms colourless, shiny leaflets or needle-shaped crystals which are poorly soluble in cold water. Benzoic acid has an intensive odour and is highly flammable. |
