A three-component mixture of organic compounds in diethyl ether consists of a carboxylic acid, an amine base, and a neutral compound. After treatment with 3 M NaOH and thorough mixing, what compound(s) will be present as major components of the aqueous phase?
a) the amine hydrochloride salt
b) the carboxylic acid
c) the amine and the neutral compound
d) the sodium carboxylate salt

the sodium carboxylate salt

Explanation:

The reaction between the carboxylic acid and the sodium hydroxide yields a sodium carboxylate. This sodium carboxylate is an ionic in nature; RCCOO-Na+. This can effectively interact with water and remain in the aqueous phase since it is composed of the carboxylate ion and sodium ion in solution. The aqueous phase always contains water soluble ionic substances of which the sodium carboxylate is a typical example of such.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.

explanation:

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.
