Based on your observations during our experiment, would water make a suitable solvent for the recrystallization of benzoic acid that is significantly contaminated with fluorene using the method employed in our experiment? If not, suggest a technique that might be used to improve the outcome using water as the solvent. Simple and fractional distillation was the method used during the lab to purify substances and purified substance was separated from solvent using filtration.
