Question

Performing a distillation beyond labz. What are the starting materials in the organic layer?

Options:
a) Polar solvents
b) Non-polar solvents
c) Metal ions
d) Aqueous solutions

Answer 1

The starting materials in the organic layer for distillation beyond lab are non-polar solvents.

Step-by-step explanation:

The starting materials in the organic layer for performing a distillation beyond lab are:

1. Non-polar solvents. Non-polar solvents, such as hexane or carbon tetrachloride, are commonly used as the starting materials in the organic layer for distillation.

Non-polar substances do not dissolve in polar solvents like water. They have London dispersion forces and are more soluble in non-polar solvents that have similar intermolecular forces among their molecules.
