Through the extraction process, the mixture was separated into its pure benzocaine and benzoic acid portions. This could be proven by matching the melting points of the substituents obtained at the end of the lab to the average melting points found in several chemistry databases. In other words, the melting points of the purified benzocaine and benzoic acid compounds (93.2˚C and 131˚C, respectively) reflect a similar melting points to the documented 89˚C and 122.41˚C of the pure compounds found in nature. Although, the results was collected smoothly, the possibilities of errors are still existent. One source of error could aroused when light brown clouding forms at the interface of the two layers during acid extraction of benzocaine. The presence
