Separating a mixture of equal parts benzoic acid, 2- naphthol and 1,4 - dimethoxybenzene. 1. Explain why base was needed to separate the components of the mixture and why acid was needed to obtain the final product. 2. Which components of the mixture were separated at each stage of the extraction procedure? Explain, making sure to refer to pKa data. 3. Why does foaming occur when acid is added to the bicarbonate extract? Explain with chemical equations.

The question is: Consider a mixture containing 0.5 benzil and 0.05 biphenyl. Your task is to isolate the benzil in pure form. Would this be best accomplished by recrystallization or extraction? I don’t really know which one would be better cause both can isolate a substance in its pure form. Thanks!
