Two different bases, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) are used in a separating acids and neutral compounds by solvent extraction experiment. product 2 different white solid compounds. We assume that one recovered white solid compound is p-toluic acid and we assume the other is p-tert butyl phenol based on their acid-base properties. Explain how we could be be more certain about the assignments (alternatively, if you don’t label your flasks/solids well, how could you determine what the structure of each of the isolated solid is).

use your knowledge of acid-base extraction to come up with a plan to separate the following compounds from each other. Your plan should include specific solvents or reagents to be used and result in 4 isolated solids in the end. p-anisidine pyrene salicylic acid: 2,3-xylenol *Here is an hint and example: p=Anisidine is an amine, xylenol is a phenol, and salicylic acid has COOH and phenol groups. Always start with identifying the functional groups and you either add acids or bases to react then after you get your layer, you extract and normally you will get precipitation at the bottom and you collect it by vacuum iteration, solate the amine by extracting with HCl. The ammonium salt will be in the aqueous layer. Neutralize it by adding base (NaOH) until the solution is basic. Collect the amine(which we expect to precipitate) by vacuum filtration.
