In a certain scenario, you have a separatory funnel containing two unknown colorless, clear, and
immiscible layers. How would you determine which is is the organic layer and which is the
aqueous layer?
Read the options carefully below. Select the answer that accomplishes this. - Answers Remove
a small amount of the bottom layer, and add a few drops of water to see if it is miscible.
Which of the following statements are correct regarding the use of a separatory funnel? -
Answers Venting a separatory funnel is important in part because the acid-base reactions can
generate gas products, which creates an explosion hazard.

Extract acetaminophen into the aqueous layer - Answers KOH
Which answer choice correctly explains partitioning (seen in Exps. 3, 4, and 5)? - Answers When
a molecule travels to the layer (or phase) that it is most attracted to due to similar
intermolecular forces.

Experiment 6
Select the answer that correctly explains the setup for the water flow in the condenser: -
Answers The water flows in at the bottom barb and out at the top, since the water is coldest
when coming from the tap and will heat up as it runs through the condenser.
Experiment 6
Given the following two reagents, which is likely the product if they undergo a Diels-Alder
reaction - Answers LOOK AT PIC
In a microscale version of Exp. 6, 0.281 g anthracene (C14H10) and 0.194 g of maleic anhydride
(C4H2O3) are reacted as shown:
Determine the theoretical yield of the limiting reagent in grams.
Make sure your answer has the correct units and the correct number of significant figures. -
Answers 0.281 g C14H10 x 1 mol C14H10 x 1 mol C4H2O3 x 276.3 g
178.23 g C14H10 1 mol C14H10 1 mol C4H2O3
= 0.436 g
