Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Weight of solute A that would be removed in four successive extractions with 25 mL portions of hexane should be calculated, and the amount of hexane required to remove 98.5 % of A in a single extraction should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The distribution coefficient is a parameter that indicates the extent of the solubility of two immiscible components in two different phases.One of the phases is aqueous, while the other is the organic phase.
