Hey there!

Organic acid present in the methylene chloride when treated with aqueous NaOH it will be converted to aqueous soluble sodium carboxylate salt as shown below  :

RCOOH (DCM layer) + NaOH ---------------->  RCOONa (aqueous layer) + H₂O

the organic layer methylene chloride is immiscible with water, therefore it will present as two-layer, the large denser layer will present at the bottom

Density of dichloromethane = 1.325 g/mL

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Since dichloromethane density is more it will present at the bottom and water density is lesser, therefore, it will present its top, since RCOONa is aqueous soluble it present at the top aqueous layer

*Organic acid will present in the top layer

Why is it good to use blue and red litmus for the same solution?
Neko [114]

Under acidic conditions, the solution is red, and under alkaline conditions, the solution is blue. Chemical reactions other than acid-base can also cause a color change to litmus paper. For instance, chlorine gas turns blue litmus paper white – the litmus dye is bleached, because of presence of hypochlorite ions.

Which group on the Periodic Table of the Elements contains elements that react with oxygen to form compounds with the general fo
user100 [1]
Group (1) is alkali metal and its elements have 1 valence electron. Oxygen (O) valency is 2, and together they can form compounds with the general formula X2O.

Therefore, (1) Group 1 is the correct answer.

Hope this helps~

What determines the type of bond (single, double, or triple) an element will form?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The type of bond formed depends on the valence electrons (no: of electrons in the outermost shell)

When two atoms share one electron pair between each other, then they are said to be bonded by single covalent bond

When two atoms share two electron pairs between each other, they are said to be bonded by double covalent bond

When two atoms share three electron pairs between each other, they are said to be bonded by triple covalent bond.

Hope u understand
