2. Benzoic acid can be purified by hot water because of following characteristics.
(i) Benzoic acid is more soluble in hot water and less soluble in cold water.
(ii) Impurities present in benzoic acid are either insoluble in water or more soluble in water to such an extent that they remain in solut
