← ScienceSodium benzoate equilibrium in water, high concentration causes which outcome?
A)Increased benzoic acid precipitation✓
B)Increased solution dielectric constant
C)Reduced sodium benzoate solubility
D)Decreased solution surface tension
💡 Explanation
Increased sodium benzoate favors the reverse reaction due to Le Chatelier's principle/common ion effect; therefore, shifting equilibrium towards benzoic acid, it's less soluble, rather than the dielectric changes being directly dominant compared to ionization, solubility decreases, or surface tension alteration.
