Provide an explanation for the following scenario: Jim Bob was working in a laboratory. He needed to work up a reaction that used concentrated sulfuric acid. Jim Bob’s boss told him to use diethyl ether but he mistakenly used ethyl acetate. Jim mixed the ethyl acetate and the acid/aqueous layer and was waiting for the two to separate but they never did. What happened to the ethyl acetate under the strongly acidic conditions? Why would diethyl have been a better solvent?
