What would happen if a mixture of benzoic acid (C6H5CooH) and NaCl is added to a separatory funnel containing H20 and CH2cl2? O Both benzoic acid and NaCl would dissolve in the organic layer O The benzoic acid would dissolve in the water layer and the NaCl would dissolve in the organic layer. O Both benzoic acid and NaCl would dissolve in the water layer O The benzoic acid would dissolve in the organic layer and the NaCl would dissolve in the water layer

Explanation / Answer

1. Ans : C (carboxylic acids are strong acids. Therefore soluble in weak bases like sodium carbonate).

2. Ans : D (Benzoic acid is a organic compound therefore soluble in organic layer like DCM and NaCl is a salt soluble in aqueous layer.
