Chapter 5.3, Problem 15E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason of aqueous hydroxide to be a preferred base than aqueous bicarbonate for extracting benzoic acid from diethyl ether needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction: A solution is a mixture of solute and solvent. To separate the solute from the solution, different separation methods can be used. Separatory funnel is one of the most common method in which the solution is placed in a separatory funnel and shaken with an immiscible solvent. Solute distributes between both solvents to form two layers.
