mix of succinic acid and anhydride

[amit]

my teacher recently asked me how to seperate mixture of succinic acid and succinic anhydride in to pure components? my answers ranged from simple base neutraizations to metal complex formation. but i think most suitable way would be to separate by different solubility in some solvent.

any guesses?

u might be able to sublime one of them

acid group is much more polar than the anhydride group, possibly by partition?
