For the following question consider all the separation techniques we have looked at so far (recrystallization, extraction, simple and fractional distillation) and the situations in which each of these work best.
You have a sample of benzophenone which is contaminated with a small amount of benzoin. Which of the following techniques is the best way to purify the benzophenone?
Recrystallization
simple distillation
acid/base extraction
fractional distillation
