The method for the separation of a mixture of phenol and benzoic acid present in diethyl ether solution is to be stated and also the method of separation of a mixture of phenol and cyclohexanol present in diethyl ether solutionis to be stated on the basis of their large difference in pKa values.

Concept Introduction:

>

The acidity of phenols is higher than that of alcohols. But phenols are less acidic than a carboxylic acid.
