Q.

If dichloromethane (DCM) and water (H2O) are used for differential extraction, which one of the following statements is correct ? 

  1. A

    DCM and H2O would stay as lower and upper layer respectively in the S.F.

  2. B

    DCM and H2O will be miscible clearly 

  3. C

    DCM and H2O would stay as upper and lower layer respectively in the separating funnel (S.F.)

  4. D

    DCM and H2O will make trubid/colloidal mixture

Solution

Density of dichloromethane is greater than water. So, DCM would be the lower layer and water will form the upper layer in the separating funnel.
