What Is Benzoic Acid Used For?
Benzoic acid is the textbook example for recrystallisation because it is far more soluble in hot water than in cold. Students dissolve an impure sample in the minimum of boiling water, filter it while hot and watch clean, plate-like crystals form as the solution cools. The dried crystals are then checked by melting point, where a sharp melting range indicates good purity.
As a weak acid it can be titrated against sodium hydroxide with phenolphthalein, and it sublimes on gentle heating, which makes it useful for demonstrating sublimation as a separation method. Wear eye protection when handling the powder, avoid breathing its dust and keep the container tightly closed; the MSDS supplied gives full handling and storage guidance.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies benzoic acid together with the flasks, funnels and melting-point apparatus used in the same practicals, so a laboratory can source its reagents and equipment through one enquiry. For vendor registration, the supplying company's details are GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Buyers in India and international markets are served. More about the company is on the ScienceLab profile page.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Recrystallisation and titration practicals with benzoic acid also need the following.
- Sodium Hydroxide 500 g — the alkali used to titrate benzoic acid.
- Phenolphthalein — indicator for the titration end point.
- Melting Point Apparatus Simple — checks the purity of the recrystallised crystals.
- Funnel — for hot filtration during recrystallisation.
- Porcelain Dish (China Dish) — for gentle heating in sublimation demonstrations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grade is the Benzoic Acid?
The Benzoic Acid supplied under code SCI-431/180 is analytical reagent grade. That grade suits recrystallisation, titration and melting-point practicals in teaching laboratories; for research methods that need a specific assay, ask us for the batch information before you order.
How much Benzoic Acid is in one pack?
Each pack of Benzoic Acid contains 100 g. Recrystallisation practicals use only a few grams per student group, so one pack covers several sessions; state the number of packs your laboratory needs when you send an enquiry.
Does Benzoic Acid come with safety data?
Yes. Benzoic Acid is supplied with an MSDS that sets out its hazards, safe handling, storage and first-aid measures. Keep the sheet in the chemical store file and brief students on it before recrystallisation or titration work begins.
How long does Benzoic Acid keep?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no single period applies to every pack of Benzoic Acid. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry store.
Who supplies Benzoic Acid?
Benzoic Acid (SCI-431/180) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) of Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies laboratory reagents and apparatus to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
What should I include when requesting a quote for Benzoic Acid?
To quote for Benzoic Acid, we need the product code SCI-431/180, the number of 100 g packs and your delivery location. Add any other reagents or glassware for the same practical to the enquiry cart so they are priced together.
Request a Quote
Send your Benzoic Acid requirement through the contact page or add it to the enquiry cart. Institutions that need vendor registration details can ask for them with the quotation.
