Question
Chapter 10, Problem 2Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The extraction procedure used to remove the acetic acid from the ethyl ether should be described.
Concept introduction:
A liquid-liquid extraction process uses two immiscible liquids for extraction. Immiscible liquids are insoluble in each other and form separate layers when placed in same glassware. It is result of differences in polarities of both liquids. The process of extraction is performed in separating funnel. There are many acids and bases present in the organic reaction mixture that can be separated by alteration in their solubilities.
