Benzoic Acid CAS 65-85-0: Formula, Properties and Sourcing

Benzoic acid identity at a glance

Identity source: PubChem: Benzoic Acid, CID 243.

Benzoic acid and benzoates are not the same procurement identity

Benzoic acid, sodium benzoate and other benzoates are related names that may appear in the same research journey, but they are not interchangeable product identifiers. A sourcing request should state the exact substance name and CAS number instead of relying on the word “benzoate.” Supplier specifications, safety documents and regulatory assessments must match the requested substance.

How to read common Benzoic Acid search terms

A CAS number identifies the substance; it does not by itself establish a food, pharmaceutical or other regulated grade. Search intent and generic application descriptions are not substitutes for the current specification, applicable COA, SDS or market-specific assessment.

What buyers should verify beyond CAS 65-85-0

• Intended process, formulation role and destination market.
• Required assay basis, limits, units and analytical methods.
• Named impurities, reporting thresholds and acceptance criteria.
• Current supplier specification and an applicable lot COA.
• Current SDS for handling, storage, transport and disposal review.
• Packaging material, net weight, MOQ, lead time and delivery destination.

How the legacy Longchang fields should be read

The existing product record lists white powder, an assay range of 99.5–100.5%, a melting-point range of 121–124°C, several impurity fields and 25 kg/bag packaging. These are historical source-record fields, not a current specification or lot guarantee. They remain useful as RFQ questions only after the method, unit, current limit, applicable COA and packaging definition are confirmed.

Application, safety and regulatory boundary

This page is for business-to-business raw-material identification and sourcing. It does not certify product grade, application suitability, regulatory status or finished-product compliance. It is not patient guidance and is not a substitute for the current supplier SDS. Qualified personnel must assess process suitability, handling controls, storage, transport, exposure and destination-market requirements.

Frequently asked sourcing questions

What is the molecular formula of Benzoic Acid?

The molecular formula is C7H6O2. PubChem CID 243 reports a molecular weight of 122.12 g/mol.

Is Benzoic Acid the same as sodium benzoate?

No. Use the exact substance name and CAS number required by the process, and make sure the supplier specification and safety documents match that identity.

Does CAS 65-85-0 establish a food or pharmaceutical grade?

No. The CAS number identifies the substance, not the supplied grade, regulatory status or suitability for an intended use. Those points require current supplier documents and a market-specific assessment.

What should a Benzoic Acid RFQ include?

Include CAS 65-85-0, intended process, assay and impurity requirements, test methods, quantity, packaging constraints, destination market and required documents.
