you performed a liquid-liquid extraction to isolate isopentyl acetate. was the isopentyl acetate a component of the organic layer or of the aqueous layer?



Answer :

Isopentyl acetate is found in organic layer.

What do aqueous layer and organic layer mean?

In this procedure, the organic product is isolated from inorganic substances. The organic product will be soluble in an organic solvent (organic layer) while the inorganic substances will be soluble in water (aqueous layer).

Solvents with significant dipole moments, the ability to separate charges, and the capacity to dissolve ions and other polar compounds are known as polar solvents. They comprise bonds between elements like oxygen and hydrogen that have widely varied electronegativities.

Non-polar solvents are defined as solvents that are made up of atoms with marginally different electronegativities. They have bonds between elements like carbon and hydrogen that have similar electronegativities. bonds with other atoms. Bonds between atoms with similar electronegativities will lack partial charges.

due to presence of large alkyl chain in isopentyl acetate

isopentyl acetate acts as a non polar compound , so its readily soluble in organic solvents rather then polar aqueous solvent

so isopentyl acetate is found in organic layer.
