The best method for the separation of naphthalene and benzoic acid from their mixture is

A

sublimation

B

chromatography

C

crystallisation

D

distillation

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Both napthalene and benzoic acid sublime on heating and hence cannot be separated by sublimation. Benzoic acid is, however, soluble in hot water but not naphthalene and hence can be separated by crystallization.
