1-Decanol and 1-decanamine are products marketed by the XYZ Chemical Company. A mistake in the plant results in the mixing of these two products. There is a need to quickly separate the mixture into the individual components because customers are awaiting delivery of the needed separation, but the distillation equipment is broken and will not be repaired for several days. Describe an alternate method of separating 1-decanol from 1-decanamine. Not that both are insoluble in water.

You can probably extract the amine into acidic water, since it will form a salt, whereas the alcohol will not.
