Prepare a flow sheet for the preparation of triphenylmethanol. Using your knowledge of the physical properties of the solvents, reactants, and products, show how the products can be purified. Indicate which layer should contain the product in the liquid/liquid extraction steps.

See explanation and Image attached

Explanation:

The preparation of triphenylmethanol occurs as shown in the image attached to this answer.

The first step is the nucleophillic reaction of the phenyl magnesium bromide with the carbonyl group.

Reaction of the second molecule of phenyl magnesium bromide with the product yields triphenyl methoxide ion. Reaction with acid yields the triphenylmethanol product which is extracted into the organic phase.

The triphenylmethanol product can be purified by recrystallization.

can you attach a picture of the lettuce? : )

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
