Question

6 multiple choice 1 point which of the following techniques is typically used to extract eugenol from the aqueous distillate after steam distillation? sublimation crystallization filtration extraction previous

Explanation:

After steam distillation, eugenol is in an aqueous distillate. Extraction (using an organic solvent like dichloromethane) is used as eugenol is more soluble in the organic solvent than in water. Sublimation is for solids changing to gas. Crystallization forms crystals from a solution. Filtration separates solids from liquids. So extraction is the right technique.

Answer:

Extraction
