Question
Chapter 3.2, Problem 18E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:Separation of mixture of sand and benzoic acid to have pure benzoic acid should be explained.
Concept introduction:Recrystallization is technique that is used for purification of organic compounds. This process includes dissolution of solid in specific solvent at high temperature and then crystals are made again by process of cooling. Temperature of crystals is decreased to allow impurities to remain in solution only.

Then remove the bottom aqueous layer and collect in a beaker labeled as bicarbonate extract. Acidify the bicarbonate extract in the beaker to give benzoic acid.
