When performing an extraction with the solvent pair: H2O and ethyl acetate (EtOAc), two separate layers (aqueous and organic) form. What is the order of the layers and why? O 1) The aqueous layer is on top and the organic layer is on the bottom. This is due to the aqueous layer being more dense O 2) The aqueous layer is on top and the organic layer is on the bottom. This is due to the water layer being more dense 3) The aqueous layer is on top and the organic layer is on the bottom. This is due to the organic layer being more dense

Transcribed Image Text:When performing an extraction with the solvent pair: H,O and ethyl acetate (E1OAC), two separate layers (aqueous
and organic) form. What is the order of the layers and why?
1)
The aqueous layer is on top and the organic layer is on the bottom. This is due to the aqueous layer being more dense
O 2)
The
aqueous layer is on top and the organic layer is on the bottom. This is due to the water layer being more dense
O 3)
The aqueous layer is on top and the organic layer is on the bottom. This is due to the organic layer being more dense
04)
The organic layer is on top and the aqueous layer is on the bottom. This is due to the water layer being more dense
