Question

multiple choice 1 point
neutral compounds remain in the organic solvent layer because they:
react with water
are heavier than aqueous solution
are nonpolar and uncharged
form salts with acids and bases

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).

Answer:

C. Are nonpolar and uncharged
