1) Compound Xdissolves in water and needs to be extracted with an organicsolvent. Its solubility in toluene is 0.65 g/mL, in ethanol is 20g/mL and in methylene chloride is 12.5 g/mL. Ethanol forms ahomogeneous layer when mixed with water. Toluene and methylenechloride do not.
a) Why would ethanol and toluene NOT be chosen as the organic solvents for the extraction discussed above?
b) After the methylene chloride and water layers are mixed and separated, is it the upper or lower layer that would be the organiclayer?
