A mixture containing the following four compounds is extracted with 1 M HCl. The compound that goes to aqueous layer is :

Options

A. (I)
B. (II)
C. (III)
D. (IV)

Answer

b

Explanation

When the given mixture is shaken with 1 MHCl , amine get protonated and becomes cation `(RNH_(2)^(oplus))` , which does not dissolve in organic solvent but usually dissolve in `H_(2)O` due to its charge . So , shaking with aqueous HCl will pull amines into the aqueous phase and leavel all other compounds in organic layer.
