(a) If 250mg of phenacetin was dissolved in 400mL of water define how much will be extracted using one 100mL portion of ether?
(b) Imagine repeating the experiment utilizing two 50mL portions of ether. How much of the 250 mg of phenacetin could be extracted? Remember that the 1st extraction removes a portion of the sample thus the calculations will change a little.
(c) Explain what do the calculations indicate about define how to optimize extraction of a compound using a limited amount of solvent?
