Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An element is defined as a substance that contains same type of atoms.

For example, element K contains only atoms of potassium.

Whereas a substance in which two or more different elements chemically combine together in a fixed ratio by mass is known as a compound.

For example, KCl contains atoms of K and Cl in 1 : 1 ratio. Hence, it is a compound.

Therefore, in the chemical reaction, $K + Cl \rightarrow KCl$ there are only two elements which are K and Cl.

A mixture of compounds containing diethylamine, phenol, ammonia, and acetic acid is separated using liquid-liquid extraction as

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

I would expect to extract the acetic acid.

Explanation:

In the first step, since we are adding a concentrated acid, it will react with the bases present in the mixture (diethylamine and ammonia) forming salts, which are soluble in water. Therefore, after draining the aqueous layer, we will have phenol and acetic acid left in the organic layer.

In the second step, we are adding a diluted base, so it will react with a strong acid. This compound is acetic acid, and its salt will be present in the aqueous layer. Phenol will be left on the organic layer.

The concentration after dilution is 1.4%.

We are aware that concentration and volume are related to each other by the formula -

$C_{1}$ $V_{1}$ = $C_{2}$ $V_{2}$ , where we have initial concentration and volume on Left Hand Side and final concentration and volume on Right Hand Side.
