Answer:

b. Extraction with a solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, separating the layers, followed by drying and evaporating the organic layer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ether solution contains your product, benzaldehyde, and some starting material, benzoic acid, the purification steps are:

  1. Extract with a solution of NaHCO₃. The ether layer contains benzaldehyde, and the aqueous layer contains sodium benzoate.
  2. Separate the layers. Keep the ether layer.
  3. Dry the ether solution.
  4. Distill the ether (boiling point 35 °C) and purify the benzaldehyde (178 °C) by steam distillation.

a. is wrong. Extraction with HCl will not remove much of the benzoic acid.

c. is wrong. If you evaporate the organic layer, you will have a mixture of benzaldehyde and benzoic acid.

d. is wrong. If you work with the aqueous layer, you will end up with benzoic acid,

Name the two possible products in the precipitation reaction of copper (II) chloride and sodium phosphate. Use the charges on th
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

General equation for a double-displacement reaction:  

AB + CD --> AC + BD

• sodium chloride – NaCl copper sulfate – CuSO₄  

NaCl + CuSO₄ --> Na₂SO₄ + CuCl₂

The products formed are sodium sulfate and copper (II) chloride.

Copper (II) chloride forms a blue colored solution.

• sodium hydroxide – NaOH copper sulfate – CuSO₄  

NaOH + CuSO₄ --> Na₂SO₄ + Cu(OH)₂

The products formed are sodium sulfate and copper (II) hydroxide.

Copper (II) hydroxide forms a blue colored solution.

• sodium phosphate – Na₂HPO₂ copper sulfate – CuSO₄  

Na₂HPO₄ + CuSO₄ --> Na₂SO₄ + CuHPO₄

The products formed are sodium sulfate and copper (II) hydrogen phosphate.

Copper (II) hydrogen phosphate forms a blue colored solution.

• sodium chloride – NaCl silver nitrate – AgNO₃  

NaCl + AgNO₃--> AgCl + NaNO₃

The products formed are silver chloride and sodium nitrate.

Silver chloride forms a white precipitate.

• sodium hydroxide – NaOH silver nitrate – AgNO₃  

NaOH + AgNO₃   --> NaNO₃ + AgOH

The products formed are silver hydroxide and sodium nitrate.

Silver hydroxide forms a white precipitate.

• sodium phosphate – Na₂HPO₄ silver nitrate – AgNO₃

Na₂HPO₄ + AgNO₃  --> NaNO₃ +  Ag₂HPO₄

The products formed are sodium nitrate and silver hydrogen phosphate.

Silver hydrogen phosphate forms a colorless solution.
