Question

Extraction of NaHCO 3 & NaOH Please provide the balanced equation and mechanism for the following reaction: Diethyl EtherWaterNaHCO 3 Also answer the follwing questions: 1. What is the purpose of the paper clip/wire? 2. What do the bubbles indicate? 3. Which layer is the ether/organic layer (top or bottom)? 4. Which compound is dissolved in the ether organic layer? 5. Which compound is dissolved in the water layer? 6. What reactions took place? 7. Why is the NaHC0 3 extract cooled? Please provide the balanced equation and mechanism for the following reaction: Diethyl Ether+Water NaOH Also answer the follwing questions: 1. Which layer is the ether/organic layer? 2. Which compound is dissolved in the ether/organic layer? 3. Which compound is dissolved in the water? 4. What reactions took place? 5. Why is the NaOH extract cooled? clip or wire ring clamp separatory funnel stopcock an Erlenmeyer flask. You can label it in the white diamond with a pencil r ringstand

Explanation / Answer

1. Paper clip or wire is used to tie the separatory funnel with ringstand.

2. When mixing of ether, water and NaHCO3 then bubbles are formed.

3.Ether layer is top because its density is less.

4. In ether no compound is dissolved because it is non polar solvent.

5.In water NaHCO3 is dissolved because it is polar solute dissolves in polar solvent.

6.The dissolution of compound and they form immiscible liquids

7 To settle the layers separetely

1. Top layer is the organic/ether layer because it is having less density

2. No compound is dissolved in the ether layer because it is non polar solvent.

3. NaOH is dissolved in the water layer because it is polar solute dissolves in polar solvent. Like dissolves Like concept.

4. dissolution of compound and they form immiscible two liquids

5. To form the two separate layers.
