$C_{6} H_{5} C O_{2} H (a q) + H_{2} O (l) ⇌ C_{6} H_{5} C O_{2}^{-} + H_{3} O^{+}$ $C_6H_5CO_2H(aq) + H_2O(l) rightleftharpoons C_6H_5CO_2^(-) + H_3O^+$

Explanation:

See this site. A $p K_{a} = 4.202$ $pK_a=4.202$ is reported. For acetic acid, $H_{3} C - C O_{2} H$ $H_3C-CO_2H$ , $p K_{a} = 4.76$ $pK_a=4.76$ . Can you explain why benzoic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid?
