Sodium benzoate has the chemical formula

NaC6H5CO2; it is a widely used food preservative. It is the sodium salt of benzoic acid and exists in this form when dissolved in water. Density: 1.50 g/cm Melting point: 300 C It repels bacteria and fungi in acidic state Also used in firework. It is what produces the whistle noise sometimes. Not soluble in cold water When you combine an acid and a base, the result is a salt. When you mix sodium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid, you get sodium chloride,
