Question

The pH of a saturated solution (at 25 oC) of benzoic acid is2.86. Given Ka of benzoic acid = 6.52 x 10-5, calculate thesolubility of benzoic acid (grams of benzoic acid per 100 mL ofwater) at 25 C.
I understand that the Ka is used somehow but please explainhow exactly to plug in the concentrations to find the answer. BTW...I am told the answer is 3.5g/100ml...however I need thestep to reach that answer becuase when i plug into the Hasselbalchequation I cant reach that answer.
Also, I dont know if this will aid in receiving a quickanswer, but I can rate you highly even just fortrying....Thanks!
