Hello Everyone!
We are about to do a chemically active extraction lab and I need help on a few of the pre-lab Questions..
1. How would you separate a mixture of a carboxylic acid RCOOH), an amine (RNH2), a phenol (ArOH) and a hydrocarbon (RH)? Draw a flow chart to illustrate your separation. Show each species in the aqueous and organic layers.
This is what I drew up in Photoshop:
2. Which pairs below could be separated by chemically active extraction? Which Reagent would you use in each case?
I was thinking a could not be separated. And b,c can be with an acid. But was not to sure.
Thanks!
