When a mixture of 1-hexanol and hexanoic acid in diethyl ether is shaken with an aqueous

\mathrm{NaHCO}_3

solution, then which of the following is right distribution? When a mixture of 1-hexanol and hexanoic acid in diethyl ether is shaken with an aqueous NaHCO_3 solution, then which

When a mixture of 1-hexanol and hexanoic acid in diethyl ether is shaken with an aqueous NaHCO_3 solution, then which

Options

AIn ether: hexanoic acid; In $\mathrm{NaHCO}_3$ : 1-hexanol
BIn ether: 1-hexanol ; In $\mathrm{NaHCO}_3$ : sodium hexanoate
CIn ether: sodium hexaonate ; In $\mathrm{NaHCO}_3$ : 1hexanol
DIn ether: 1-hexanol ; In $\mathrm{NaHCO}_3$ : hexanoic acid

Correct answer

B. In ether: 1-hexanol ; In $\mathrm{NaHCO}_3$ : sodium hexanoate

Step-by-step solution

Hexanoic acid is soluble in ether whereas alcohol is not soluble in

\mathrm{NaHCO}_3

solution.
