Question

5. Suppose you are trying to separate butanoic acid and 4-iodotoluene via extraction with diethyl ether and water. (a) Look up the structures and draw them below. Predict which reagent would have a greater preference/affinity for the diethyl ether layer (1 pt) (b) Which solvent will be on the bottom in the separatory funnel (or conical vial) (1 pt)? (c) U to the butanoic acid and which layer would it prefer- aqueous or o pon treatment of butanoic acid with sodium bicarbonate solution, what would you expect to happen rganic (1 pt)? (d) Why do we use MgSO, or Na,SO, in the organic layer when we are done with the separatory funne pt)?
