Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.40AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An explanation regarding the extraction of dibutyl ether from benzene into water if the aqueous solution contains moderately concentrated nitric acid is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A compound is said to be a polar due to the presence of an electronegative atom that tends to attract the electrons closer to itself as compared to the other atom. The electronegative atom acquires a partial negative charge and creates a partial positive charge on the other atom. Polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents, whereas non-polar compounds are soluble in non-polar solvents.

Write the products of the reaction of diphenhydramine (a base) with the acid HCl shown below. Are the reactants or products more soluble in water? Briefly explain.
why ethyl acetate is immiscible with water?
Aspirin is the common name for the compound acetylsalicylic acid, widely used as a
fever reducer and as a pain killer. Salicylic acid, whose name comes from Salix, the
willow family of plants, was derived from willow bark extracts. In folk medicine, willow
bark teas were used as headache remedies and other tonics. Nowadays, salicylic acid
is administered in the form of aspirin which is less irritating to the stomach than salicylic
acid. To prepare aspirin, salicylic acid is reacted with an excess of acetic anhydride.
A small amount of a strong acid is used as a catalyst which speeds up the reaction. In
this experiment, phosphoric acid will be used as the catalyst. The excess acetic acid
will be quenched with the addition of water. The aspirin product is not very soluble in
water so the aspirin product will precipitate when water is added. The synthesis
reaction of aspirin is shown below:
