Answer: I think it could be Decomposition
Explanation: I think is composition because decomposition starts by being together and ends up as two
Answer: The student observed only one liquid phase because The student removed the aqueous layer instead of the organic layer and then added organic solvent to more organic layer. Diethyl ether is less dense than water.
Explanation:
In organic chemistry, which is the chemistry of carbon atoms, liquid-liquid extraction techniques are used to separate solutes from its crude reaction mixtures. An example of liquid- liquid extraction technique used is the Separatory funnel.
The Separatory funnel extraction technique allows the separation of solutes based on their solubilities in two immiscible liquids. This appears as two phases or layers with the organic solvent on top while the aqueous solution is below the funnel. This is because the organic solvents are less dense than the aqueous solution.
From the question, the student had a dissolved organic compound in an aqueous solution and was given an organic solvent, diethyl ether for its extraction. When the first 10ml of ether was added, the dissolved organic compound mixed with it and remained in the top layer of the mixture. The student removes the lower layer after the first extraction and adds the second 10mL portion of ether to the upper layer remaining in the separatory funnel. After shaking the funnel, the student observes only one liquid phase with no interface because more organic solvent was added to the organic layer that remained after the aqueous layer was removed.
Answer:
B. CH3CH2OH
Explanation:
Ethanol has a chemical formula of CH3CH2OH, it is the second member of the series in the alkanol family. Ethanol is a colourless, volatile liquid with a characteristic smell and taste. It is readily soluble in water in all proportions. It has a boiling point of 78° C. The physical properties such as the solubility of alkanols are affected by the presence of hydrogen bonding. The hydroxyl group is capable of bonding to other alkanol molecules. The boiling points rise with increasing molecular mass.
Hydrogen bonding helps the molecules to stick together. For example comparing the boiling point of pentane ( 36° C) with that of butan-1-ol (118° C) , the boiling point of alkanol is much higher even though the two compound are of similar relative molecular mass. This is due to the presence of hydrogen bonds in butanol.
Hydrocarbons are not soluble in water but alkanols are soluble in water because of the hydroxyl groups in the molecules can form hydrogen bond with water. Solubility of alkanol in water decreases as the number of carbon atom increases. Primary alcohol with more than five carbon atoms are insoluble in water.
