Hi,

I am making a gardening product which involves an aqueous solution of around 12% caffeine, 30% Sodium Benzoate and the rest water.

Please help me with the following

• I would be really grateful if somebody could let me know what compounds they think will be produced by this mixture at 25c temperature.  I think sodium benzoate will dissolve as it is in water am I right?
• Importantly I'd like to know if sodium benzoate is likely to break down in to soils. 
• If it breaks down what would it break down into.
  

thanks in advance

Absolutely nothing
