Question
10. What is the % recovery of X if Paula performed one liquid-liquid extraction
with 20 mL of chloroform? Answer in 4 significant figures and correct unit.
Transcribed Image Text:10. What is the % recovery of X if Paula performed one liquid-liquid extraction with 20 mL of chloroform? Answer in 4 significant figures and correct unit.
A chemistry student wishes to extract 2.34 g of compound X from 15 mL of an
aqueous mixture. She has two solvents available with the following
characteristics:
Solvent
Solubility of X in 100 mL of solvent
Нехane
36.92
Chloroform
28.33
Water
16.52
However, the student only has enough hexane (exactly 10 mL) for one extraction.
On the other hand, she has enough chloroform (exactly 20 mL) to perform either
1 extraction with 20 mL or 2 sequential extractions with 10 mL each.
