It ispossible to get pure benzoicacid from a sample containing impurities of naphthalene through the process of recrystallisation using benzene as a solvent? Give reason- |
| Answer» Solution :It is not possible to purify impure benzoic acid by recrystallisation using BENZENE as SOLVENT because both naphthanlene and benzoic acid are quite SOLUBLE in benzene. PURIFICATION is however possible if HOT water be used as the solvent because acid is soluble in hot water but naphthalene is not. | |
