NEETChemistryGeneral Organic Chemistry
Why should the organic solvent and the aqueous solution be immiscible with each other in differential extraction?
Options
- ATo create a homogeneous solution
- BTo avoid forming layers
- CTo form two distinct layers that can be separated
- DTo increase the solubility of the compound
Correct answer
C. To form two distinct layers that can be separated
Step-by-step solution
Immiscibility between the organic solvent and the aqueous solution is essential to form two distinct layers that can be separated.
