A shelf containing several chemicals, Salicylic acid,4-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-one (a.k.a. Raspberry Ketone) and4-methylaniline, fell and the vials shattered. The white powdersare hopelessly mixed in a dustpan. You are promised a raise if youcan devise a procedure that a less qualified chemist will follow toseparate the three compounds. You must describe what extractionsteps are to be taken at each point of the separation and how toisolate and purify each compound again as a solid. To ensure thatyou get the raise, you will also need to suggest how to determinethe purity of each recovered sample.
