Question 6 (10 points) In liquid-liquid extractions involving water, the lower layer will be an aqueous solution unless the other solvent is: 1) heptane 2) ethyl alcohol 3) ether 4) an alkyl halide Question 7 (10 points) A liquid-liquid extraction is attempted using water and an organic solvent of density 1.1 g/mL. Under what circumstances could the lower layer be the aqueous layer? 1) the aqueous layer is always the lower layer 2) the aqueous layer contains a large concentration of solute 3) the temperature is decreased significantly 4) the organic solvent contains a large concentration of solute

Solvent Extraction (10 points) (a) If you are extracting a substance from water into ether, is it more effective to do one extraction with 300 mL of ether or three extractions with 100 mL? (b) If you wish to extract aqueous acetic acid into hexane, is it more effective to adjust the aqueous phase to pH 3 or pH 8? (c) Why is it difficult to extract the EDTA complex of aluminum into an organic solvent but easy to extract the 8-hydroxyquinoline complex? (d) If you need to bring the EDTA complex into the organic solvent, should you add a phase transfer agent with a hydrophobic cation or a hydrophobic anion? (e) Why is the extraction of a metal ion into an organic solvent with 8-hydroxyquinoline more complete at higher pH?

Which compound, hexane (C6H14) or butane (C4H10), should have the larger enthalpy of combustion and why? How much heat (in kJ) is transfered if 100. mL of water goes from 93.1 °C to 45.8 °C? Assume the density of water is 1.00 g/mL.

'7. Questions (6 pts) Q1. Suppose solute A has a distribution coefficient of 1.0 between water and diethyl ether. Demonstrate that if 100 mL of a solution of 5.0 g of A in water were extracted with two 25-mL portions of ether, a smaller amount of A would remain in the water than if the solution were extracted with one 50-mL portion of ether'
