HCl is an acid and is capable of protonating basic functional groups such as amines. When this happens, the functional group will often take on a formal charge which increases its polarity. It can then be moved into the aqueous phase which would separate it from the organic phase. Thus, the compound can be efficiently separated from other compounds (assuming the other compounds were not also sensitive to the acid).

Why NaOH and HCL were added in liquid-liquid extraction experiment and please write the equation?

NaOH was added to convert the acidic component into its conjugate base, making it water-soluble and enabling its extraction into the aqueous phase. HCl was then added to neutralize the basic component and convert it back into its neutral form, making it extractable into the organic phase. Equation: HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Why is it necessary to vent during a liquid-liquid extraction?

Venting is necessary during liquid-liquid extraction to release built-up pressure that can result from the agitation and mixing of the two immiscible liquids. This helps to prevent the extraction vessel from rupturing or causing spills. Additionally, venting can help to remove volatile compounds that may be present in the system.
