1. two compounds: benzene sulfonic acid and 2-methyloctane

2. Using Google, look up the structures of your molecules and draw their skeletal structures.

3. Suppose you took your two compounds, dissolved them in tertbutyl methyl ether and then added them to a separatory funnel. Now suppose you add in aqueous sodium bicarbonate and vigorusly shake the contents of the separatory funnel. I want you to fill in the blanks in the following sentence. _____________________ will be dissolved in the terbutyl methyl ether and ________________________ will be dissolved in the aqueous sodium bicarbonate layer.

4. Draw the EXACT chemical structure that will exist in each of the layers after shaking with sodium bicarbonate. (Is it neutral or charged?)
