Chemistry

I have an unknown mixture of Benzoic acid, DimethylTerephthalate, and Naphthalene dissolved in Dichloromethane. I needto separate the mixture to find the composition using some sort ofacid base reation and a distillation. How would I do that? I thinkthat I could use steam distillation to remove the naphthalne but imnot really sure on that. Any help would be apprectiated. I startwith 25mL of the unknown mixture.
