Question

construct a detailed flow diagram showing how you would separate a mixture of benzoic acid, p-bromophenol, aniline, and naphthalene.

Explanation / Answer

here is the answer for the question on chemistry Mixture + xs HCl ----> anilinium(aq) Mixture - aniline + weak base (Na2CO3) ---> benzoate(aq) Mixture - aniline - benzoic acid + base (NaOH) ---> p-bromophenoxide(aq) Mixture - aniline - benzoic acid - p-bromophenol = naphthalene You can recover the extracted materials by doing the following and extracting with an organic solvent: anilinium(aq) + NaOH(aq) ---> aniline(organic) benzoate(aq) + HCl(aq) ----> benzoic acid(organic) p-bromophenoxide(aq) + HCl(aq) ---> p-bromophenol(organic) hence showed!!!
