1. The extraction solvent used in this experiment is which is . The 9-fluorenone is effectively extracted in that solvent because it has the aromatic rings that represents a relatively big area in the molecule. 2. The 9-fluorenol and 9-fluorenone will not be soluble in the aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution. 3. We use in this experiment because is miscible with water and has an intermediate polarity therefore, helps to provide an homogeneous phase for the reaction to occur. 4. We saw that in the TLC plates, the 9-Fluorenone moves far up the plate than the 9-fluorenol. That means that 9-Fluorenone is polar than 9-fluorenol and it also has a Rf value.
