- 3. Suppose you have a mixture of saturated aqueous sodium chloride (brine) and your 2-chloro-2-methylbutane product in a separatory funnel. Use densities to predict which phase will be the top layer in the funnel. a. 2-chloro-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 misciblearrow_forward1,4‐Dimethoxybenzene (0.642 g) was dissolved in 2.0 mL acetic acid in a 25 mL Erlenmeyer flask using heat from a hot plate. Once the solid dissolved, 1.0 mL tert‐ butanol was added, and the reaction mixture was cooled in an ice bath. Then 2.0 mL concentrated sulfuric acid was added in 2‐3 drop portions,stirring the mixture after each aliquot. After the addition, the flask was removed from the ice bath and allowed to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Then 1.0 mL water was added dropwise to dilute the acid and the reaction mixture was added to 40 mL cold water in a 100 mL beaker. The solid was vacuum filtered and washed with 5 mL cold water, giving 52 g filtrate. The product wasrecrystallized from 4.5 mL methanol, yielding 0.317 g purified 1,4‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2,5‐dimethoxy benzene (27.2% yield).
