The a mixture of 4-tert-butylphenol and 2- chlorobenzoic acid is separate by the by using bicarbonate solvent.
When solution of bicarbonate is added in mixture of 4-tert-butylphenol and 2- chlorobenzoic acid then 2- chlorobenzoic acid form a carboxylate ion whereas 4-tert-butylphenol is underacted and filtered out.
Since, only 2- chlorobenzoic acid which is acid is convert into its conjugate base by solution of bicarbonate in mixture of 4-tert-butylphenol and 2- chlorobenzoic acid .
However, phenol is less acidic than carboxylic acid. Both phenol and carboxylic acid is soluble in organic solvent . At that point as the phenol isolates as an oil, one needs to cool the blend in an ice shower to encourage crystallization
