From these three different syntheses, A, B and C. Of these three, one is reversible and the Le Chatelier principle needs to be applied to force product formation. Based on the descriptions of the three reaction procedures below, indicate which most likely takes advantage of the Le Chatelier principle. A: Two liquid reactants are mixed and stirred for about 10 minutes. As the mixture is stirred the solid product precipitates from the liquid reaction mixture. The solid product is recrystallized and the melting point taken. B: Two liquid reactants are mixed and stirred for one hour. At the end of the reaction period the mixture is extracted with sulfuric acid in water to leave the liquid product behind. The liquid product is characterized using IR spectroscopy. C: Two liquid reactants are mixed and stirred for one hour. At the end of the reaction period, the mixture is extracted with a solution of sodium hydroxide in water. The aqueous extract is acidified and the liquid product is then extracted from the aqueous layer with diethyl ether. The liquid product is isolated by drying the diethyl ether and removing it by evaporation. The liquid product is characterized using IR spectroscopy.
