Benzoic acid is not very soluble in water and has a much stronger affinity for organic solvents. Considering the reaction below, which of the following best describes what will happen when a base is added to a liquid-liquid extraction system containing water, benzoic acid, and an organic solvent like hexane? Please note that states of matter have been omitted from the reaction. Assume excess NaOH is added. O *Na +H20 OH + NAOH Benzoic Acid Sodium benzoate Benzoic acid will be in the aqueous layer. Sodium benzoate will be in the aqueous layer.

Please do it neat and clean correctly please... Posting third time please help me with correct solution please
Reaction: NaHCO3(aq) + HCl(aq) ® NaCl(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) Methyl orange is a pH indicator. It is yellow above pH 4.4, orange between pH 4.4 and 3.2 and red below pH 3.2. NaHCO3 is a weak base and it must be acidified to about pH 4 to completely neutralize it. Why did you test the reaction mixture with this indicator before you began the evaporation step?
Calculate the pH of a 0.345 M aqueous solution of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin, HC9H7O4) and the equilibrium concentrations of the aspirin and its conjugate base. Ka = 3.0 x 10-4. Be sure to report appropriate sig figs and units. pH = [HC9H704] = [C9H704] =
What result we would expect if we accidentally extracted the mixture in the reverse order (HCl, NaOH, NaHCO3)?
Correct answers are given!!! Please just show me how to get them.
6) When the reversible reaction HC;H;O2 (aq) E> H*(aq) + C2H3O2(aq) is at equilibrium at room temperature, pH of the reaction mixture is 5. What will be the change in pH when you add a large amount of solid acetate (C2H30,Na) to the reaction mixture? a) pH will not change because C2H;O,Na is not a part of the reaction equation. b) pH will not change because acetic acid and sodium acetate form a buffer c) pH will decrease because the reaction will shift towards reactants d) pH will increase because the reaction will shift towards reactants
