What physical property determines which solvent sinks to the bottom when performing a liquid-liquid extraction? A. Refractive Index B. Solubility C. Density D. Boiling Point The polarity of some compounds can be changed using acid-base chemistry. True False Which of the following is not soluble in dichloromethane (aka, DCM)? A. Cellulose B. Caffeine C. Benzoic Acid For the separatory funnel shown in the Student Protocol video, the closed position of the stopcock has the handle of the stopcock in which position? A. Diagonal B. Vertical C.

In a separatory funnel, two layers are formed - one on the top and one on the bottom. The more dense liquid is on the bottom, while the less dense liquid is on the top. The solution with more volume is on the bottom, while the solution with less volume is on the top.
