Benzoic acid and Phenol are both weak acids that are insoluble in diethyl ether and insoluble in water. Phenol is soluble only in the stronger base, 10% NaOH. Benzoic acid is soluble in both 10% NaOH and 10% NaHCO3. From this information write a flow scheme for separating and recovering phenol and benzoic acid.
