Answer #1

Benzoic acid (P​​​​​​ka​​​​ =4.20) is strong acid then water (Pka = 15.7) , so it will get dissolved in water and wash away. Also benzoic acid is polar so you should wash it in a non polar solvent (like acetone , ether etc ) or you just take ethanol and warm the salt of benzoic acid till it dissolves and then cool it to precipitate the salt after that just dry it in air to get pure product. As you know ethanol is a polar covalent solvent so it would take care of both polar and non -polar impurities.
