The distribution coefficient, KD (C ether/C water), between ether and water for aspirin at room temperature is 3.5. What weight of aspirin would be extracted by a single extraction with 150 mL of water from a solution of 10 gms of aspirin in 100 mL of ether? Calculate the weight of aspirin which would be removed by three extractions with 50 mL portions of water.
