Question

Aqueous solution of a mixture contains $LiCl,CuCl,NaCl$ and $AlC{l}_3$. This is shaken with ether. What is/are left in water?

• A. $LiCl,NaCl$
• B. $NaCl,$ $AlC{l}_3$
• C. Only $CuCl$
• D. Only $NaCl$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $LiCl,NaCl$

1) $LiCl$ ,$NaCl$ are alkali halides.

2) Mostly aqueous solution of alkali halides are extracted when ethers are added.
so, in this case $AlC{l}_3$ and $CuCl$ will be eliminated.Thus, answer turns out to be $LiCl$ and $NaCl$.

Hence, option $A$ is correct.
