Please post this type of questions in the HW section using the template.
I just had an extraction lab, and am confused how methyl red is soluble in both water and ether.
My prediction was that methyl red would be only soluble in ether, but it actually dissolved into both layers. Looking at it's structure, it has a carboxylic group on one end, attached to a chain consisting of aromatics with some nitrogens. Any suggestions or guidance?
