3. Describe how you would purify p-nitrobenzoic acid from a mixture of 9.0g of p-nitrobenzoic acid and 2.0g of o-nitrobenzoic acid using recrystallization. Tell what solvent you would use and how the components would be separated
p-nitrobenzoic acid (4-nitrobenzoic acid) having lower melting point than o-nitrobenzoic acid (2-nitrobenzoic acid).
M.P of p-nitrobenzoic acid is 124 oC
M.P. of o-nitrobenzoic acid is 146-148 oC.
Following methods are used for recrysatllization.
