If the solubility of a compound A in ether is 30g/100 ml, and the solubility of A in water is 15 g /100 ml. a) If 100 ml of aqueous solution of 3g of A are extracted twice with 100 ml ether. How much A total is extracted? b) How much A would be extracted if only one extraction, but with a volume of 200 ml of ether were extracted? c) What is your conclusion from the amount of A extracted in problems a and b above?
