Answer:
I would expect to extract the acetic acid.
Explanation:
In the first step, since we are adding a concentrated acid,<u> it will react with the bases present in the mixture (diethylamine and ammonia) </u><u>forming salts</u><u>, </u><u>which are soluble in water</u>. Therefore, after draining the aqueous layer, we will have phenol and acetic acid left in the organic layer.
In the second step, we are adding a diluted base, so it will react with a strong acid. This compound is acetic acid, and its salt will be present in the aqueous layer. Phenol will be left on the organic layer.
Answer:
The determination of the nature of the combination of the two separate materials in the original material that looks pure is based on the characteristic of the change process they undergo to become two separate materials.
Therefore, they can know if they initially had a mixture or a compound by the following steps;
1) If the two separated materials can be easily remixed to form the original material, then they likely have a mixture of the two separate materials
2) If the process that results in the formation of the two separate materials, involves the absorption or evolves heat or other forms of energy, then the original substance was a compound
3) If the two newly formed materials is seen to be a permanent change, then the original material was a compound
