Question:
A mixture that contains benzoic acid, 4-chloroaniline and naphthalene. The 4-chloroaniline is separated first by extraction with hydrochloric acid.Since no phenolic compound is present in this mixture, two extractions with base solution are not required; thus, the benzoic acid could be separated from the neutral compound by extraction with either aqueous sodium bicarbonate or aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. We have chosen to extract the acidic compound into the aqueous layer using sodium hydroxide. Write balanced chemical equations for all transferals of the compounds from organic to aqueous phases and for all the precipitation reactions. [Note: If a compound does not move from one layer to another, no reaction has occurred and no equation can be written.] In the equations that you write, indicate the state, solid (s), liquid (l), gas (g) or aqueous (aq), of each product formed in the reaction. You must write out the entire structural formula for each compound. Do not abbreviate an alkyl or aryl group with the letter “R”.
