Benzoic acid is colorless crystals, poorly soluble in water, well soluble in ethanol and diethyl ether. Benzoic acid is, like most other organic acids, a weak acid. Benzoic acid is the simplest aromatic acid, colorless, shiny crystals. It was first isolated by sublimation at the beginning of the 17th century from benzoic resin (dew incense), hence the name. Easily sublimes, distilled with water vapor. Benzoic acid is obtained by oxidation of toluene with nitric or chromic acid, as well as by decarboxylation of phthalic acid.
