If I wanted to separate a mixture containing formic acid and naphthol that were dissolved in diethyl ether using acid base extraction. Will I be successful in isolating the two compounds? Give detailed answer and explanation as to why or why not. Assume the student could use NaHCO3, NAOH or HCl as needed.

In the mid-1930s a substance was isolated from a fungus that is a parasite of ryes and other grasses. This alkaloid, lysergic acid, has been of great interest to chemists because of its strange, dramatic action on the human mind. Many derivatives of lysergic acid are known, some with medicinal applications. Perhaps the best known derivative of lysergic acid is the potent hallucinogen lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD): మగవా జి N-H LSD (CH25N;O) Like other alkaloids, LSD is a weak base, with Kp = 7.6 × 107. What is the pH of a 0.94 M solution of LSD? pH =
the fragrant ester benzyl acetate is a naturally occurring compound in many flowers. The flavor and fragrance industry produces this compound by a reaction of benzyl alcohol with excess acetic acid, using hydrochloric acid as a catalyst. Water is a co-product of the reaction. Provide the reaction scheme.
When trichloroacetaldehyde is dissolved in water, almost all of it is converted to the hydrate. Chloral hydrate, the product of the reaction, is a sedative that can be lethal. A cocktail laced with it is known—in detective novels,at least—as a “Mickey Finn.” Explain why an aqueous solution of trichloroacetaldehyde is almost all hydrate.
