Select the fastest way to differentiate between the organic and aqueous layers of an extraction.a. Hold a white piece of paper b

ehind the separatory funnel. The organic layer will have a slight yellow color, while the aqueous layer will be colorless.b. Add a few drops of one of the layers to a test tube containing 1 mL of water. Shake the test tube to determine the solubility of the layer in water.c. Separate the layers and heat them. The organic layer will have the lowest boiling point.d. Weigh equal volumes of each layer. The aqueous layer will have the highest mass.

Answer:

b. Add a few drops of one of the layers to a test tube containing 1 mL of water. Shake the test tube to determine the solubility of the layer in water

Explanation:

Option a is not true, it depends on the compound being extracted.

Option c is not true, although most of the solvents used in extractions have lower boiling point than water there are exceptions, for example toluene.

Option  d is not true. Again most of the solvents used in extractions are less dense than water, there are many exceptions, for example chloroform, so for equal volumes the chloroform layer will weigh more.

Option b. is the correct one.

One will test the  miscibility of the layer in water. If it inmiscible then one would know is the organic layer. If it is the aqueous layer then it will completely be miscible.

According to Pascal's principle, how does pressure from a hand squeezing a ketchup bottle move throughout the ketchup?
Pepsi [2]

- According to Pascal’s principle, for a certain fluid in a totally enclosed system, a change in pressure at a given point in the fluid is transferred to all points in the fluid, as well as to the enclosing walls.

- This is illustrated by the fact that the pressure inside an enclosed system is the same according to the relation [ pressure = force/area ]. Therefore, the change in pressure resulting from squeezing a ketchup bottle will be transferred equally to all parts of that bottle as well as its internal content.

- That’s how hydraulic machines, such as garbage trucks and hydraulic lifts function..

Which of the following is defined as the mass of an atom based on the mass of an atom of carbon-12?
iogann1982 [59]
<span>This would be the atomic mass. In an atom of carbon-12, there are 6 protons and 6 neutrons at rest (electrons have a negligible mass and are usually not part of the overall mass calculation). All atomic masses are based off the measurements of this specific iteration of carbon.</span>

Volume is an extensive physical property because it is dependent on the size of the sample.
BaLLatris [955]
Hi,

The statement is true, as the volume of a sample depends on its size.

I hope this helps. If I was not clear enough or if you’d like further explanation please let me know. Also, English is not my first language, so I’m sorry for any mistakes.
