To create a liquid–liquid extraction plan, we must identify the distribution ratio. When the extraction is done, we separate the organic material, leaving behind the solute. During the experiment, 1.235 g of solute with is dissolved in 10.00 mL of water. Using 5.00 mL of toluene as an extracting solvent, 0.889 g of the solute is recovered . (a) What is the distribution ratio? (b) If we extract using 20.00 mL of water that contains the solute with 10.00 mL of toluene, what is the percent extraction?
