Your employer hands you a heterogeneous mixture and asks you to isolate all of thehexane that you can from it. After some analysis, you determine that the mixture contains toluene, hexane,benzoic acid, water, sodium chloride, and sand. Explain how you would isolate pure hexane from thismixture. Remember that you can use techniques such as filtration, extractions, and acid/base chemistrythat we learned earlier in this course in addition to distillation. You may need to look up solubilities and/orboiling points online to solve this problem. You only need to isolate the hexane?
