Add Aqueous sodium hydroxide to the mixture then shake the mixture with excess of water separate the two liquid layers by separating funnel then add HCl to water layer evaporate the water and get the phenolic compounds.

The two will separate themselves if in liquid phase; toluene is insoluble in water. All you have to do is heat the mixture to above 0oC.

You must use a separating funnel which has a stop cork

Is toluene evaporates from water?

Toluene is not miscible with water; toluene is released by slow evaporation.


How can you separate salt and sugar already dissolve in water?

It will be difficult to separate them in something that they both dissolve into (like water or ethanol). You can try changing the temperature and the sugar may precipitate out, depending on the sugar. To get a complete separation I would evaporated the water first and just separate the salt and sugar. Then you can separate the solids by dissolving the sugar into a polar solvent like toluene. NaCl will not dissolve in toluene but all of the sugar should.


Is NaCl solubility in toluene?

No it is not soluble in toluene because toluene is nonpolar and nacl is polar


Is toluene and benzene are soluble?

Yes. Toluene and benzene are each soluble in the other. Neither is soluble in water.


What is the solubility of toluene in cold water and hot water?

The solubility of toluene in cold water is at 0.033%. The solubility of toluene is slightly higher at 0.050%, toluene has an extremely high boiling point at 110C.


Will toluene dissolve in water?

Not under normal conditions, no. Toluene is a hydrocarbon, and is therefore non-polar. Water is strongly polar. They have incompatible intermolecular attractions, so no dissolving will take place.


When water and toluene mixed two layers form which remains on the bottom?

Two layers form and the two layers indicate immiscibility (lack of solubility).


What color is the flame of toluene?

All the toluene I've ever worked with is clear--what they call "water-white."


Is toluene or hexane hygroscopic?

No, they do not absorb water molecules.


Is water more dense than diesel?

Yes, water is more dense than toluene. Also, since water is polar and toluene is non-polar, they will form two separate layers with toluene floating on top of the more dense water. (The surface of contact is called the interface, and molecules can move freely across this.)


How do you convert toluene to benzoic acid?

by using kMNo4 and water


How toluene can be separated from acetonitrile without using an entrainer?

if there is large ratio between aetonitrile and toluene separation can be acheved by using water for layer separation.
