In the lab, you choose to design a simple experiment to distinguish between hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances. You start by adding equal amounts of vinegar and oil to a container. After shaking, the vinegar and oil levels separate, based upon polarity and density. To this you add glucose and sodium citrate and shake again. Where do you expect to find the glucose and sodium citrate in

greatest quantities?

A) Both will concentrate in the oil layer.
B) The glucose will concentrate in the vinegar, sodium citrate in the oil.
C) Both will concentrate in the vinegar layer.
D) Sodium citrate will concentrate in the vinegar, glucose in the oil.
E) Both will be uniform throughout both layers.


C) Both will concentrate in the vinegar layer.
