Suppose you are performing an extraction procedure with a carboxylic acid, like a benzoic or toluic acid. Which layer should contain the carboxylic acid in a two-layer mixture of water and an organic solvent, like diethyl ether?

diethyl ether

Explanation:

Benzoic acid and toluic acid are more soluble in organic solvents than in water. Even though many carboxylic acids with a short alkyl chain are soluble in water due to hydrogen bonding, aromatic carboxylic acids are only slightly soluble in water.

However, when converted to benzoates, these species are now more soluble in water than in organic solvents.

no, i was listening to water by schoolboy q while and i saw this question

explenation:

water isn't wet. wetness is a description of our experience of water; what happens to us when we come into contact with water in such a way that it impinges on our state of being. we, or our possessions, 'get wet'. a less impinging sense experience of water is that it is cold or warm, while visual experience tells us that it is green or blue or muddy or fast-flowing. we learn by experience that a sensation of wetness is associated with water: 'there must be a leak/i must have sat in something.'
