What is the purpose of using NaOH in an extraction experiment? Mark all that apply. Question options: A To acidify the aqueous layer so the organic acid precipitates out of solution B To remove traces of water from the ether layer so neutral compound is dry C To react with the organic neutral compound and remove it from ether layer D To react with organic acid compound to produce water-soluble salt and extract it into aqueous layer I did put C and D but wrong. I did put only D but also wrong. I put B and D also wrong.
