Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A carbohydrate is formed from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These three elements are combined in every carbohydrate.

Even though carbohydrates are composed of only these three atoms, the number of atoms of these elements in each carbohydrate as well as the spatial arrangement of these atoms in each carbohydrate is not the same.

This means that different carbohydrates contain different number of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms which are arranged in different ways in space. This gives room for the existence of many different types of carbohydrates all consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

umka2103 [35]

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.
