Suppose you have a mixture of saturated aqueous sodium chloride (brine) and your 2-bromo-2-methylbutane product in a separatory funnel. Use densities to predict which phase will be the top layer in the funnel.

Question
4. Suppose you have a mixture of saturated aqueous sodium chloride (brine) and your 2-bromo-2-methylbutane product in a separatory funnel. Use densities to predict which phase will be the top layer in the funnel.
a. 2-bromo-2-methylbutane (organic phase)
b. saturated sodium chloride (aqueous phase)
c. hard to predict since densities are both very close to 1.18 g/mL
d. there would only be one phase since the substances are miscible
