You have a solution that contains 4.0g of oxalic acid dissolved in 100ml of water. this solution is placed in a separatory funnel, and then 100ml of diethyl ether is added to the separatory funnel and an extraction is performed. (Diethyl ether and water are immiscible solvents.)  Use the following constant to calculate how much oxalic acid is in each solvent after extraction.           Solubility of Oxalic acid in water=9.5g/100ml           Solubility of Oxalic acid in ether=16.9g/100ml
