Answer:

Check explanation.(esp. last part of the Explanation section).

Explanation:

I must confess to you, this question is somehow tricky, but no matter what we are smarter! This question is based on acid base extraction. the organic solvent diethyl ether is the organic base while H2O is the neutral (that is water is acting as a neutral medium). When the hexanoic acid [CH3(CH2)4CO2H is added and mixed with organic solvent diethyl ether and water. The ether which is at the top layer contains the [CH3(CH2)4CO2H and the water which is at the buttom contains [CH3(CH2)4COO- in which a proton is taken away from [CH3(CH2)4COOH through the addition of

So, what is tricky about the question? The fact that there are two media makes it tricky if we go for water phase as [CH3(CH2)4COO- and if we go for ether phase as [CH3(CH2)4COOH, they are both right. So, both are correct but in this question ether phase as [CH3(CH2)4COOH will be appropriate here.

What central idea does wollstonecraft explicitly state in this passage? a lack of education will not make women care only about
Orlov [11]

The correct answer is <em>A), a lack of education will not make women care only about household issues. </em>

English writer <em>Mary Wollstonecraft(1759-1797)</em>, was considered one of the first feminist as she always supported women's equality. She wrote a famous book on the topic called <em>“Vindication of the Rights of Woman”</em>, which made her a woman’s rights activist.

The concepts in her book created controversy because they were revolutionary for those years. For instance, in her book <em>“Maria, or the Wrongs of Woman”,</em> she declares that women had strong sexual desires and those desires not need to be suppressed.
