Question

If you have an aqueous solution containing an organic acid salt and a neutral compound, which one will be extracted into ethyl acetate upon mixing in a separatory funnel? If an organic compound dissolves in an aqueous base such as NaOH, what does this tell you about the nature of the compound? You are given a beaker of an aqueous solution in which an organic compound has been dissolved. With the aid of pH paper, you estimate that the solution has a pH of 3. Which of the following should you use to precipitate the organic compound out of the aqueous solution? Explain your reasoning. Water HCL NaOH ethyl acetate
