The Separation of Three Organic Compounds by Acid, BaseReactions and Liquid, Liquid Extraction. Okay, so we had solidbenzoic acid, ethyl 4- aminobenzoate, and 9-fluorenone alldissolved in diethyl ether. We separated the basic component byadding 3M HCl, we separated the acidic component by adding 3M NaOH.I don't understand what happens here. To isolate the acidicsolution, we added 6 M NaOH and used the vacuum to recover thesolid. To isolate the basic solution we added 6M HCl. I did anexperiment where a 1:1:1 mixture of Benzoic Acid solid (C6H5COOH),ethyl 4-aminobenzoate solid (C9H11NO2), and 9-fluorenone solid(C13H8O) was dissolved with methylene chloride. Then each componentwas extracted and tested. I need to come up with a proton transferchemical reaction that represents what happened in each separation.First separation: HCl was added and two layers formed. aqueouslayer was extracted and transfer to a clean container and methylenechlotide layer was left aside. NaOH was added dropwise to aqueouselayer extraction and vacuum filtration was used to extract/separatethe basic component ethyl 4-aminobenzoate solid (C9H11NO2)..... Ineed a flowchart dont know how to built one
