Where are you stuck, specifically? Set up your equation. You have benzoic acid + HCl \(\rightarrow\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

benzoic acid? Shouldn't be sodium benzoate, which is a base reacting to HCl (acid)? So the reaction should be like this: sodium benzoate + HCl = NaCl + benzoic acid? I know that at equivalence point, the quantity of base is equal to t he quantity of acid.. so I calculated for the moles of acid at equivalence point. nHCl = (0.1023)(0.02282) = 2.33x10^-3 mol = moles of base then what? I don't know where to go from here.
