Explain what is meant by solvent extraction.Solvent extraction is the process in which two substances integrated with different substances that can not combine are introduced and the ensuing reaction occurs with no interference from the two solvents. In this case water and mineral oil were the two substances, these substances readily separate when introduced and therefore are ideal candidates for this technique.5.) How can you tell if a reaction occurs in the halogen experiment?When a reaction occurs in the halogen experiment there are loose ions floating in the solution. Different substances give off different color ions, and the base solvent do not have an interchange of ions, therefore if there is no color to the solution, no reaction may have occurred because of the lack of change in color. If the fluid m...
