Propose a method to separate a mixture containing phenol, benzoic acid, naphthalene, and p-nitroaniline. Phenol is soluble in sodium hydroxide solution but insoluble in neutral water or sodium bicarbonate solution. Benzoic acid is soluble in either sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate solutions. Write out the structures of the molecules in your scheme.

You are given a mixture of benzoic acid, 2-naphthol and 1,4-dimethoxybenzene and you are asked to separate the mixture into its following compounds. You are limited to using dichloromethane, pentane, cyclohexane and ethyl acetate as organic solvents. This doesn't involve solvents used to convert the 3 compounds to ionic salts. Suggest possible organic solvents and explain a procedure you would carry out to separate the 3 mixtures briefly.
