Construct a flow chart for the extraction procedure that
specifies which is the organic layer, which is the aqueous, and
what is dissolved in each.
Extraction Procedure
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) (10 mL of a 10% solution) is placed
in a separatory funnel. The reaction mixture (an ester and water)
is transferred from the microwave vessel into the funnel with a
pipette. At this point, water is added until any visible
solids dissolve. Diethyl ether (5 mL) is then added and the
solution swirled. The aqueous layer is then removed. An additional
5 ml of sodium bicarbonate is added to the remaining organic layer
and the solution swirled again. After the layers have separated,
the organic layer is removed to a small Erlenmeyer flask. The
aqueous layer is extracted two more times with 5 mL of diethyl
ether, each time. Remove the organic layer after each extraction
and combine it with the first ether layer. The combined organic
layers are returned to the empty separatory funnel and are washed
with saturated NaCl solution (5 mL)
