b) Extract the aqueous phase again with an additional 5 mL ofethyl acetate.

c) Combine the two ethyl acetate solutions and wash this ethylacetate layer with 5

mL of brine. Drain the aqueous phase and pour the ethyl acetatesolution into a

clean 25-mL Erlenmeyer flask.

d) Dry the organic phase with anhydrous magnesium sulfate for 5min.”

Which (if any) changes to the outcome of the work-up would youexpect for each of the following changes to the procedure?
