What ph would you make the water layer in order to cause the acid to dissolve in the water layer and the amine to dissolve in the ether layer?

What you have to bear in mind is to make the compound charged, in order that it will be soluble in water than in ether. You should make the pH basic for acid as in the salt compound in order to cause the acid to dissolve in the water layer.
