A 2.5 g solute is dissolved in 250 mL of an aqueous solution. Assuming that the distribution coefficient for the extraction is 10, calculate the amount of solute remaining in the aqueous phase after three successive extractions with 50 mL solvent. What is the percentage of solute extracted using this procedure?
It is true answer:
the amount of solute is 2.4 g
the percentage of solute extracted using this procedure is 96%
