Suggest scheme for the total separation


Suggest scheme for the total separation of the three compounds in a mixture of benzoic acid, phenol, and naphthalene using this information. Benzoic acid is a much stronger acid than the weak acid phenol (C6H5OH) consequently benzoic acid reacts with the weak base sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3, while phenol does not. Use the structure of phenol, benzoic acid, and naphthalene with formal charges for full credit.
