Question

ould it make any difference if the methylene chloride solutioncontaining both thebasicand neutral components waswashed with 1Msodium hydroxiderather than 1Mhydrochloric acid? If so,what would that difference be? Would any layer separation bepossible in the new solution? Would it be possible to isolate the two components from oneanother using 1Msodium hydroxiderather than 1Mhydrochloric acid?Why or why not?Provide a balanced equation to justify your answ

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

No, it is ludicrous and not possible to separate and detach a basic and neutral compound by 1M NaOH in DCM. This is due to the fact that neutral compounds don't respond and react with NaOH, and NaOH itself occurs to be a base. As a result, it can't respond and react with another base to produce salt. Consequently, we simply need a corrosive component i.e an acid

So; In DCM, we can't use 1M NaOH instead of 1M HCI for isolation and separation of neutral and basic compound mixtures.
