Need help with 3

The figure at left below is a depiction of the separatory funnel after adding an excess of sodium hydroxide solution to an ether solution of salicylic acid and acetanilide. Identify the solvents that make up each layer Draw the structure of the organic solute (the dissolved organic compound) that is in the layer. Be sure to add charges to structures where needed. If you do not bubble air through the solution it before neutralization as directed in Step 4. - remains in the aqueous solution. How would this remaining ether affect the percent recovery of your acidic compound? Explain.

Explanation / Answer

A) Upper layer solvent will be ether (0.731 g cm^-3) because it has less density thatn water (1gcm^-3)

Structure of organic solute salicyclic acid

A)Lower layer solvent will be water(1gcm^-3) because it has more density thatn water (0.731 g cm^-3)

Structure of organic solute acetanilide, Na+
