You did a reaction and it resulted in the following mixture ofcompounds:
(Benzoic ring, benzoic ring with OH, Benzoic ring with COOH)
What would you do to isolate and then purify benzoic acid?
How would you prove that your final product is pure?
Which peaks in the IR and NMR you would look for to see if yougot indeed benzoic acid? Mention all, but also specify the peaksthat are different from peaks the other compounds have aswell. Â
