QUESTIONS (continued)
3. A solution of p-toluidine in 5% aqueous HCl is placed in a flask. An equal volume of the
solvent diethyl ether is then added and the mixture is stoppered, shaken and then allowed to
stand to reach equilibrium. Diethyl ether is immiscible with aqueous solvents, and the
mixture forms two layers: a diethyl ether layer and an aqueous layer.
(a) Which solvent forms the upper layer ? Briefly explain your choice.
(b) What does the aqueous layer contain ? Briefly explain your choice.
5% aqueous NaOH is now carefully added in order to neutralise the mixture, then the flask is
stoppered, shaken and then allowed to stand to reach equilibrium again.
(c) Now, which solvent contains the p-toluidine ? Briefly explain your choice
