Suppose solute A has a distribution coefficient of 1.0 between water and diethyl ether. Demonstrate that if 4.0 mL of a solution of 0.20 g of A in water were extracted with two 1.0-mL portions of ether, a smaller amount of A would remain in the water than if the solution were extracted with one 2.0-mL portion of ether.
