Briefly explain how you will isolate p-tert-butylphenol after you have extracted it into naoh solution.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we know that p-tert-butylphenol is a highly flammable liquid with a perilous fire hazard due to its high inner energy content. Breathing it could irritate one's respiratory channels as well as headache, sickness, weakness and lightheadness.

Now, by means of isolating it, once it is extracted with a NaOH solution, it is possible to precipitate it (transform it into solid) by slowly adding 3 M hydrochloric in order to turn it acidic. Next, due to the fact that the phenol separates as an organic phase, it is consequently needed to cool down the liquid in an ice bath to ease its crystallization. Thus, the p-tert-butylphenol is obtained as a crystal which can be isolated by filtration using a hirsch funnel.

Best regards.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
