What reagents will separate, isolate, and purify 50% phenanthrene, 40% methyl 4-aminobenzoate, and 10% 1,4-dibromobenzene?
The reagents to chose from are: 1 M naoh, 6 M naoh, 1 M hcl, 6 M hcl, 1 M nahco3, saturated sodium chloride, diethyl ether, 95% ethanol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, hexane, toluene, methylene chloride and anhydrous sodium sulfate.

95% ethyl alcohol is the best solvent for the solid compound you just mentioned above which in total will be equally amount to 100% it's one compound though mentioned in three different components this is a solid that yu have to purify finding which solvent is soluble ,next extracting the organic layer finally crystallizing it so it is in its purest form.... Toluene is to soluble and the compound you just mentioned will not crystallize after it has been dissolved with toluene making ethyl alcohol 95% the best aqueous solution.
