g Remove the stopper from the top of the sep funnel. Drain the lower layer (the aqueous layer) into a 250 ml beaker. This layer should contain sodium benzoate solution. Predict the amount of sodium benzoate in the solution from the amount of benzoic acid used. Use mole ratio and new molecular weight. Moles of benzoic acid used Predicted moles of sodium benzoate formed Predicted grams of sodium benzoate formed
