Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An explanation regarding the extraction of dibutyl ether from benzene into water if the aqueous solution contains moderately concentrated nitric acid is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A compound is said to be a polar due to the presence of an electronegative atom that tends to attract the electrons closer to itself as compared to the other atom. The electronegative atom acquires a partial negative charge and creates a partial positive charge on the other atom. Polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents, whereas non-polar compounds are soluble in non-polar solvents.
