Suppose you have an organic sample X that is somewhat soluble in water, even though it issomewhat more soluble in dichloromethane or ether solvents. But if you do a singleextraction, you get only 60% of your material to transfer from the water to the organic layer.How many “washes” would it take to extract over 90% of your organic material extracted fromthe water layer?

A sample of fried potatoes weighing 200 g was extracted using a volatile organicsolvent. The recovered cooking oil weighed 15 g. What methods from thisexperiment could be used to separate the cooking oil after the extraction? (evaporation, gravity filtration or vacuum filtration?) why so?
The phensuprin solid is first dissolved in ethyl acetate. One solid will be left over – what is it? That solid is collected by gravity filtration. Do we still need the liquid we collect in the flask? What is in it? Next, the ethyl acetate is extracted with 5% aqueous sodium bicarbonate. What will be in each layer? After the extractions, the organic solvent is removed by rotary evaporation. What is the solid that will be collected at this step? What solvent is being removed? We will acidify the bicarb. layer using HCl. How do we know when the aqueous layer has been acidified? A solid forms when the aqueous layer is acidified to pH 2. That solid is collected using vacuum filtration. What is this solid? Create a flow chart depicting the separation of each component of phensuprin as the procedure progresses.
