The distribution coefficient between hexanes and water for solute B is 7.5. What weight of B would be removed from a solution of 5.00 g of B in 50 mL of water by a single extraction with 50 mL of hexanes?

Compound X (6.0 g) is dissolved in 500 mL of water (phase 1). You want to extract compound X into ether (phase 2). Which one of the following methods is most efficient? This can be determined by how many grams of X remain in phase 1 after each extraction. Partition (distribution) coefficient, Kp of compound X in an ether-water system is 5.0.

A) single extraction with 100 mL ether

B) single extraction with 450 mL ether

C) single extraction with 500 mL ether

D) two extractions with 250 mL ether

E) three extractions with 150 mL ether

please do all part :(

1. Be sure to include all the calculations and comparisons requested during the in-lab portion of the experiment.

a. Initial [HOAc]: Show your calculation

b. Calculate KD after simple extraction with diethyl ether, KD = Show your calculation

c. Calculate KD after simple extraction with dicholoromethane, KD = Show your calculation

d. Based on the calculated KD values in parts b and c, explain which solvent was more efficient at extracting HOAc in terms of the intermolecular forces (H-bonding, dipoledipole, Van der Waals, ion paring) of attraction between the solvent and HOAc.
