How does an acid/base extraction separate two compounds in a mixture with similar solubilities? The added acid or base makes a third layer, allowing for easier transfer between the aqueous and organic layers. The added acid or base performs a chemical reaction with one of the compounds to make a new species that precipitates out of solution, leaving the other compound behind. The added acid or base changes the polarity of the aqueous layer, thus allowing for separation of compounds. The added acid or base performs a chemical reaction with one of the compounds to make a new species with different solubility, thus allowing for separation.
