Some organic solvents do not work well in liquid-liquid aqueous extractions. Ethanol (HOCH2CH3) is a common inexpensive solvent,

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.

Why are metals malleable,ductile,and good conductors
9966 [12]
The energy is transferred throughout the rest of the metal by the moving electrons. Metals are described as
malleable (can be beaten into sheets) and ductile (can be pulled out into wires). This is because of the ability of the atoms to roll over each other into new positions without breaking the metallic bond.
