I have a mixture containing the following three compounds: 0.20g o-toluic acid, 0.25g fluorene, 0.05g of 1,4-dibromobenzene. I'm required to separate (any) two of of the three. Please could some one help me with how I'd separate two of the three above named compounds.

JUST FOR CLARIFICATION - I only have the chemicals listed below to isolate two of the above mentioned compounds and we can only use crystallization and extractions to do so,. I know there are many different ways to perform an extraction, we've only learnt to make a mixture that has two immiscible layers, remove one and dry with sodium sulfate. I am eager to learn more ways, but, for this question if an extraction is required for one or more of the chemicals could you use the way i've learnt so far.

Chemicals available for extractions: CH2CL2, 1M NaOH, 1M HCL and sodium sulfate for drying

Chemicals available for crystallization: ethyl ether, 95% ethanol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, hexane, toluene and methylene chloride.

Thanks in advance!
