but is a poor solvent for extractions. In ten or fewer words, provide an explanation for why ethanol is a poor solvent selection for extraction.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Extraction has to do with the separation of the components of a mixture by dissolving the mixture in a set up involving two phases. One phase is the aqueous phase (beneath) while the other is the organic phase (on top). The solvents used for the two phases must not be miscible. Water commonly is used for the aqueous phase.

Ethanol is an important solvent in chemistry but the solvent is miscible with water in all proportions. As a result of this, ethanol is a poor solvent for carrying out extraction.

The answer is Hydrogyn bonding. It keeps the water molocules bonded together and in a liquid state, without it it'd be in a gashious state.

How are photons emitted by atoms?
Paul [167]

Explanation:

<em>When the electron changes levels, it decreases energy and the atom emits photons. The photon is emitted with the electron moving from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. The energy of the photon is the exact energy that is lost by the electron moving to its lower energy level.</em>
