How does the number equivalents og KOH(potassium hydroxide) influence the outcome of this experiment.
I would interpret the question to mean what if you included 0, 1, 2, ... equivalents of KOH during the separation. However, I am not sure.
In optimized procedure 1 mole of KOH is used for 2 moles of ibuprophen and a bit more than 1 mole of phenylethylamine. It gives food for thought.
@Dan, I posted every single detail written on the assignment therefor I don't know what to add anymore. The questions directly stated: Discuss how the number equivalents of KOH influences the outcome of this experiment.
