Why is each of the three solids (acid, base, and neutral)
soluble in diethyl ether? Examine the structure of each solid and
explain what factors increase solubility in water vs. the organic
solvent used. Identify the significant intermolecular forces
affecting solubility.
Please explain why two layers form when 3 M NaOH is added to the
ether solution. What solvents do the two layers represent and which
solvent forms the upper layer?
3 solids are Benzoic acid, 4-aminobenzoate, and
9-fluorenone.
Thank...
