multiple choice 1 point\nneutral compounds remain in the organic solvent layer because they:\nreact with water\nare heavier than aqueous solution\nare nonpolar and uncharged\nform salts with acids and bases
Answer
Answer:
C. Are nonpolar and uncharged
Brief Explanation:
Organic solvents are non - polar. Neutral compounds are nonpolar and uncharged, so they dissolve in nonpolar organic solvents due to like - dissolves - like principle. They don't react with water, their density relative to aqueous solution isn't the main reason for staying in organic layer, and they don't form salts with acids and bases (unlike acids and bases themselves which can be extracted out by forming salts).
