2. Assume that both acetylsalicylic acid and acetanilide are soluble in propanol

Question

2. Assume that both acetylsalicylic acid and acetanilide are soluble in propanol, and that propanol was used in place of the methylene chloride. What problem(s) might occur during the extractions? (Careful, this is a trick question.) 3. Assume that both acetylsalicylic acid and acetanilide are soluble in acetonitrile, and that acetonitrile was used in place of the methylene chloride. Would the acetonitrile layer be the bottom layer in the separatory, funnel or the top layer? Explain your answer. 1359 Words English (US) 27

Explanation / Answer

Answer

Methanol(ch3oh) is miscible with water, in that a homogeneous mixture is formed when methanol is added to (H20)water.Extraction would be more difficult to carry out because the solvents will not readily separate using the separatory funnel as a method of separation

The layer will be on the top because its density is less than that of water in this case
