Extracting twice with two 25ml aliquots of a solvent


Extracting twice with two 25mL aliquots of a solvent is more effective than extracting once with50mL. Prove this by using an example, where the solubility of compound X is the same in water as it is in ether. Compound X is in25mL of water. Explain how much of compound X could you extract into the ether if you extracted twice with 25mL portions? Discuss how much would you extract with one aliquot of 50mL of ether?
