Question

Resorcinol (see below) has a hexane - water partition coefficient of 4.0. How could the organic phase be changed to give resorcinol a greater organic - water partition coefficient (to be extracted to the organic layer more than the aqueous layer)? Addition more water Addition more organic solvent Addition sodium chloride Addition anhydrous sodium sulfate The factor that will determine whether benzoic acid salt can effectively move from an aqueous phase to an organic phase by. Chose more than one option, indicate which one will be the first. Addition of sodium carbonate Addition of hydrochloric acid Addition of polar organic solvent Addition of non-polar organic solvent Addition of water

Explanation / Answer

partition coefficient = compound in organic solvent / compound in water =4

if you want to get more in organic solvent means

here two options will correct

you have to add more organic solvent option b

addition of NaCl optionC

because NaCl will soluble more in water then compound dissolved in water will come in to organic layer

option B addition of HCl first

addition of polar organic solvent
