An organic compound A has the following solubilities at room
temperature: 12 g A in 100 mL ether; 6 g A in 100 mL H2O
( K = 2). Calculate which of the following extraction methods will
yield the largest mass of A. Include masses of the compound yielded
in both extractions.
Method 1: A solution of 6 g of A in 100 mL H2O is shaken
with 100 mL ether (one extraction)
Method 2: A solution of 6 g of A in 100 mL H2O is shaken
with two 50 mL portions of ether (two
extractions)
