Question

Washes and extractions are both techniques that use a separatory funnel to separate liquid layers. However, washes and extractions have differences. Determine whether each statement applies to washes or extractions.
Leaves impurities in their starting layer Choose...
Moves impurities from one layer to another Choose...
Moves desired compound from one layer to another Choose...
Often involves a reaction in one of the layers Choose...
Leaves desired compound in its starting layer Choose...

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Leaves impurities in their starting layer - Extraction
2. Moves impurities from one layer to another - Wash
3. Moves desired compound from one layer to another - Extraction
4. Often involves a reaction in one of the layers - Extraction
5. Leaves desired compound in its starting layer - Wash

Explanation:

Both extraction and wash are technical materials separation processes. Both seek to carry out a separation of liquid-liquid, through the relationship between solvent and solute present in this solution. Both use a separation funnel and are very similar processes where the main difference is the purpose that each one seeks to exercise. The extraction causes the dissolution of the material that the researcher wants to leave behind. this process leaves impurities in the initial solution layer and moves the researcher's desired compound to the second layer of solution. A chemical reaction can take place during this process.

A wash, on the other hand, dissolves all impurities from the solution and extracts the compound desired by the researcher. Therefore, we can conclude that during this process the impurities are moved from one layer to another in the solution until it is discarded from the funnel, leaving the desired compound in the initial layer.
