For the aqueous solution containing 75 mg of compound c in 1.0 ml of water, what will be the total amount of the solute c that will be extracted after seven (7) extractions using a certain solvent d if 0.90 ml of a certain organic solvent d was used for each extraction. given ksolvent d/water = 1.8.

75 mg

Explanation:

We can write the extraction formula as

x = m/[1 + (1/K)(Vaq/Vo)], where

x = mass extracted

m = total mass of solute

K = distribution coefficient

Vo = volume of organic layer

Vaq = volume of aqueous layer

Data:

m = 75 mg

K = 1.8

Vo = 0.90 mL

Vaq = 1.00 mL

Calculations:

For each extraction,

1 + (1/K)(Vaq/Vo) = 1  + (1/1.8)(1.00/0.90) = 1 + 0.62 = 1.62  

x = m/1.62 = 0.618m

So, 61.8 % of the solute is extracted in each step.

In other words, 38.2 % of the solute remains.

Let r = the amount remaining after n extractions. Then  

r = m(0.382)^n.

If n = 7,

r = 75(0.382)^7 = 75 × 0.001 18 = 0.088 mg

m = 75 - 0.088 = 75 mg

After seven extractions, 75 mg (99.999 %) of the solute will be extracted.

it should be p1 v1 = p2 v2

the temperature of the gas, in k, not celsius.
