Without using column chromatography, how will you separate a mixture of camphor and benzoic acid?

Answer» Sublimation cannot be used since both camphor and benzoic acid sublime on heating. Therefore, a chemical method using `NaHCO_(3)` solution is used when benzoic acid dissolves leaving camphor behind. The filtrate is cooled and then acidified with dil. HCl to get benzoic acid.
