Question
Chapter 10, Problem 4Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The convenient way to differentiate two-layer in the ether/water extraction process when densities are not available should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Immiscible liquids are the liquid systems that contain two solvents insoluble with each other and consist of two phases. As both the liquids form a separate layer and do not interact with each other so these are independent of each other and contribute to their own characteristics. Oil and water form two different layers, when mixed with other so these are immiscible in each other.

After separating layers in an extraction, it is necessary to “dry” the organic layer with a substance that absorbs water. Explain why this is necessary.
The layers are either a organic solvent or aqueous solvent.
For the liquid acetone, list all IMFs that have to be broken in order for it to mix with water

That solid is collected by gravity filtration. Do we still need the liquid we collect in the flask? What is in it? Next, the ethyl acetate is extracted with 5% aqueous sodium bicarbonate. What will be in each layer? After the extractions, the organic solvent is removed by rotary evaporation. What is the solid that will be collected at this step? What solvent is being removed? We will acidify the bicarb. layer using HCl. How do we know when the aqueous layer has been acidified? A solid forms when the aqueous layer is acidified to pH 2. That solid is collected using vacuum filtration. What is this solid?
