help with chemistry polarity question

3. A solution of p-toluidine in 5% aqueous HCI is placed in a flask. An equal volume of the solvent diethyl ether is then added and the mixture is stoppered, shaken and then allowed to stand to reach equilibrium. Diethyl ether is immiscible with aqueous solvents, and the mixture forms two layers: a diethyl ether layer and an aqueous layer. (a) Which solvent forms the upper layer ? Briefly explain your choice. (b) What does the aqueous layer contain ? Briefly explain your choice.

Explanation / Answer

The upper layer and lower layer is mainly depent on solvent densities.

Of cource di ethylether has less density it should be in upper layer.

P- Toluidine reacts with HCl and form p-Toluidine hydrochloride which is water soluble. So the aqueous layer contanins p-Toluidine hydrochloride.
