Question

Which method can be applied to separate a mixture of camphor and benzoic acid?

• A. Sublimation
• B. Chemical Methods
• C. Crystallisation
• D. Extraction with solvent

Answer 1

The correct option is B Chemical Methods

As by the process of sublimation, both will get sublime.

We can separate them by mixing them in hot water and then filtering the solution. Residue will be camphor and filtrate will be mixture of water & benzoic acid and we can get benzoic acid by crystallization method.
