Question

Please see the picture below:  I am not even sure if this question is wanting me to draw the compounds together or separate.  Can you please draw the compounds if mine are not correct and then draw the flow chart explaining how to anwer this question for part A and B.  Thank you!

Look up the structures of the compounds below and draw them. Then, use a flow - chart to explain how you would use an extraction (acidic or basic) to separate the components. benzoic acid and 1,2,3 - trimethylbenzene aniline and p - dichlorobenzene

Explanation / Answer

question is about extracting the compound from mixtute

a) Here benzoic acid and 1,2,3 trimethyl benzene are mixed and we need to seperate.

We treat mixture with base like NaOH. Benzoic acid being acidic is soluble in base while 1,2,3 trimethyl benznene gets precipitated out. Thus we sperate both and extract them

b) Here aniline being basic is soluble in acid. Thus we treat mixture with HCl then aniline is solubel while p-dichlor benzne gets precipitated out. Thus we seperate them and extract them.
