Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The design for separation of $p\text{-bromobenzoic}\text{acid}$ and $p\text{-bromotoluene}$ in methylene chloride that would enable the isolation of the purified acid is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The separation is process by which individual compounds are obtained from a mixture. There are different types of process of separation such as filtration, evaporation, distillation and chromatography. The separation process in which the two distinct phases is created from a homogeneous mixture is known as phase separation. For example the mixture of two immiscible liquids like water and oil can be separated by phase separation method.
