The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is very useful in the laboratory for separating compounds in a mixture. Two compounds; C6H11COOH and C6H11N* H3 dissolved in a mixture of water and diethyl ether. Water and diethyl ether are barely soluble in each other, so they form two layers when combined. Given that C6H11COOH has a pka = 4.8 and C6H11N*H3 has a pka = 10.7. Estimate a. What pH would you make the water layer to cause both compounds to dissolve in it? %3D Justify your answer. b. What pH would you make the water layer to cause the carboxylic acid to dissolve in the ether layer and the amine to dissolve in the water layer? Justify your answer.
i got a answer for the a) is it correct the the pH need to be in pH 1 in order to dissolve both compound in which in acidic solution or charge ion where if it set 4 unit away from pka both compound it will be in acidic solution ? carbonyll will ( 4.8-4=0.8) and
