Question
Name the process of separating benzoic acid and naphthalene.

Answer

Fractional crystallisation using benzene as a solvent because both are soluble in benzene but to different extent. Naphthalene is more soluble, whereas benzoic acid is less soluble which will crystallise out first and after separating benzoic acid on further crystallization naphthalene will be obtained.
