2. Gyuri performed the synthesis of ester X. Liquid-liquid extraction is needed to extract compound X from
the aqueous reaction mixture. Given the solubility of ester X in the following solvents.
Solvent
water
Solubility of Compound X (g/mL solvent) at 25°C
0.278
ethanol
acetone
1.027
1.309
dichloromethane
diethyl ether
0.891
0.759
a. Which solvent must she use to extract compound X?
b. Calculate the Ko.
c. She transferred all of the aqueous reaction mixture in a separatory funnel, and she added 100 mL of the
BEST solvent (from question 2a). If the total volume of the reaction mixture is 100 mL, calculate the g of
compound X that will be extracted. (Based on literature; 5.0 g of the product will be synthesized from the
amount of starting material she used.)
d. Nagyung repeated the same experiment but this time, she performed the liquid-liquid extraction twice
usina 50 mL of the BEST solvent (from question 2a). Calculate the g of compound X that will be extracted.
