• Separation Of An Acid And A Neutral Substance

  This exercise demonstrates how solvent extraction techniques can be applied effectively to problems that require the separation of mixtures of organic acids, bases, and neutral compounds.

• Tetracyclines and organic compounds

  Because amines are bases they react with acids." Great. Therefore, we would expect tetracycline to react with acids in the body. For example, these would be organic compounds that have a COOH (carboxyl group) in them.

• Lab procedure for separating compounds

  The Benzoic and Salicylic acids (A) are carboxillic acids and will react with mild bases such as NaHCO3, where the aromatic alcohols (B) are not strong enough to be able to react with NaHCO3.

• Whats the best definition for acids and bases?

  The converse, however, is of course not true: not all Lewis acids and bases are Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases, and not all Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases are Arrhenius acids and bases.
