Answer:

A. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the top layer will be yellow.

Explanation:

The purpose of the addition of the saturated aqueous solution of polar solvents like sodium chloride in the liquid-liquid extraction techniques is to remove as well as separate any kind of water which may be dissolved in the ether. Water and sodium chloride are both polar and thus, they forms the bottom layer and only ether forms the top layer. The compound being organic and is colored is in the top layer with the ether.

Hence, answer - A. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the top layer will be yellow.

Dovator [93]
The nuclear reaction occurring is known as alpha-decay, and during this process, an alpha particle is released from a heavy radioactive nucleus to form a lighter more stable nucleus. The alpha particle is equivalent to a helium nucleus, which means it contains 2 protons and two neutrons (net charge of +2)
The decay equation is:
Rn → Po + α
