Compound A has a room-temperature solubility of 30.2 g/L in a certain solvent, while compound B has a solubility of 9.5 g/L in the same solvent at room temperature. An extract from a plant contains 110 g of A and 8 g of B. How much A can in principle be crystallized in pure form from this mixture if 3 L of solvent is used? How much solvent is required to dissolve the amount of B contained in this mixture? Show your steps.
