WHICH STEPS ARE CORRECT FOR EXTRACTION? THIS IS A TIMED HOMEWORK SO PLEASE HELP ME SOON.

A student ran the following reaction and after completing the work up step, extracted the product into diethyl ether (2x10 mL). Select the correct steps for this extraction.

Step 1: Add 10 mL ether into the reaction flask.

Step 1: Pour the product mixture into a separatory funnel.

Step 2: Add 10 mL of ether into the product mixture in the separatory funnel.

Step 2: Add 20 mL of ether into the product mixture in the separatory funnel.

Step 3: Swirl the separatory funnel with regular venting.

Step 3: Vigorously shake the separatory funnel until a homogenous mixture forms.

Step 4: Drain the lower organic layer into a beaker.

Step 4: Drain the lower aqueous layer into a beaker

Step 5: Drain the remaining organic layer into a separate beaker

Step 5: Drain the remaining aqueous layer into a separate beaker.

Step 6: Pour the organic layer back into the separatory funnel.

Step 6: Pour the aqueous layer back into the separatory funnel.

Step 7: Add 10 mL water to the organic layer in the separatory funnel.

Step 7: Add 10 mL of ether to the aqueous layer in the separatory funnel.

Step 8: Don't agitate the separatory funnel this time, you want to minimize the mixing of the layers.

Step 8: Swirl the separatory funnel with regular venting.

Step 9: Drain the lower aqueous layer into a beaker.

Step 9: Remove the upper organic layer by a pipet.

Step 10: Remove the remaining aqueous layer by pipet.

Step 10: Combine the remaining organic layer with the original organic layer that was removed

Step 11: Dry the aqueous layer with sodium sulfate.

Step 11: Dry the organic layer with sodium sulfate.
