(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Thegrams of compound A that could be removed from 400 mL of an aqueous solution by single extraction that contains 12 g of compound A needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:A solution is a mixture of solute and solvent. To separate the solute from the solution, different separation methods can be used. Separatory funnel is one of the most common method in which a separatory funnel is taken in which the solution is and shaken with an immiscible solvent. Solute distributes between both solvents to form two layers. At equilibrium the ratio of concentration of solute is constant in each layer that can be represented by partition coefficientordistribution coefficient. It is the ratio of the concentration of a substance in one medium (C1) to the concentration in a second medium (C2) at equilibrium.

Conventional wisdom says that it’s always better to extract with several small portions rather than one large portion. Is this really true? Compound A has a partition coefficient (Kp) of 3.5. If you start with a solution of 150 mg of compound A in 1.0 mL water, the amount that is recovered by extraction with one 300 uL portion of ether is 76.8 mg. How much A would be recovered after extraction with two 150 uL portions of ether instead of one 300 uL portion of ether?
Why is there a change to the way the dye molecules partition between two solvents when ethanol is added?
A neutral compound has a partition coefficient of 8 between ether and water. What percentage of the compound would be extracted from 10 mL of water if: a) 30 mL of ether were used to extract the compound?   b) 10 mL of ether were used to extract the compound?
