Question

Why is it important for the two solvents used during an extraction to be immiscible? The following molecule is dissolved in toluene. Which solvent (circle one) would you used to extract it? Why? 1.0 M HCI 1.0 M NaOH Water Ethyl Acetate H N List the steps to remove a basic impurity from a neutral compound when both are dissolved in diethyl ether. End with "removal of solvent." List the steps to remove an acidic impurity from a neutral compound when both are dissolved in diethyl ether. End with "removal of solvent." Why are you instructed to use 2 x 2.0 mL of 1.0 M NaOH to extract the acidic impurity and not just 1 x 4.0 ML of 1.0 M NaOH?
