Extraction of the aqueous salicylic acid solutions with 10% ethyl acetate/hexane (density ~ 0.7 g/ml) will give two layers in the separatory funnel. a. Will the aqueous layer be the upper layer or the lower layer? b. If dichloromethane (density ~ 1.3 g/ml) were substituted for the 10% ethyl acetate/hexane solution, which layer would be the aqueous layer?
