19.57 Because phenol (C6H5OH) is less acidic than a carboxylic acid, it can be deprotonated by NaOH but not by the weaker base NaHCO3. Using this information, write out an extraction sequence that can be used to separate C6H5OH, benzoic acid, and cyclohexanol. Show what compound is present in each layer at each stage of the process, and if it is present in its neutral or ionic form.

Low-molecular-weight dicarboxylic acids normally exhibit two different pK, values. Ionization of the first carboxyl group is easier than the second. This effect diminishes with molecular size, and for adipic acid and longer chain dicarboxylic acids, the two acid ionization constants differ by about one pK unit.
