Question
Chapter 5.3, Problem 18E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the sequence of extracting the diethyl ether solution of 2-naphthol (11), benzoic acid (5) and naphthalene (7) to start with aqueous bicarbonate followed by aqueous hydroxide and not the reverse order needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
Extraction is defined as a method used to isolate a substance which is mixed with some other substance. It is done by adding a solvent in which one the substance which needs to be extracted is soluble and other substance is insoluble.
