Hydrocarbons do not dissolve in concentrated H2SO4 but methyl benzoate does. Explain this difference and give a reaction equation showing the ions formed when methyl benzoate dissolves in H2SO4. Based on the protonated methyl benzoate ions formed in the first question, explain why nitration occurs at the meta position and not at ortho or para.

You are given 2.00 g of a mixture of phenol, aniline, phthalic acid and methyl benzoate. Describe, how you would use an acid-base extraction technique to separate all three compounds by drawing the flowchart. Propose another way of extraction, where different order of extraction is used (e.g., adding the acid first instead of a base)
