This is Organic Chemistry Lab, Solvent Extraction.
1. What are the criteria for solubility of organic molecules in
water?
2. If methylene chloride was used as the organic solvent in
solvent extraction, instead of ether, what would the top layer be
in the separation step?
3. What formula was used to calculate interaction of organic
compounds with the stationary phase?
4. In the given mixture (liquid-liquid), which compound (be
specific) has the weakest interaction with the stationary phase?
Why?
