without using column chromatography, how will you separate a mixture of camphor and benzoic acid?
Sublimation cannot be used since both camphor and benzoic acid sublimate on heating. Therefore, a chemical method using NaHCO3NaHCO3 solution is used when benzoic acid dissolves leaving camphor behind. The filtrate is cooled and then acidified with dilute HCl, to get benzoic acid
