a. Which solvent must she use to extract compound X?
b. Calculate the Ko.
c. She transferred all of the aqueous reaction mixture in a separatory funnel, and she added 100 mL of the
BEST solvent (from question 2a). If the total volume of the reaction mixture is 100 mL, calculate the g of
compound X that will be extracted. (Based on literature; 5.0 g of the product will be synthesized from the
amount of starting material she used.)
d. Nagyung repeated the same experiment but this time, she performed the liquid-liquid extraction twice
usina 50 mL of the BEST solvent (from question 2a). Calculate the g of compound X that will be extracted.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fbb2bb037-c280-420d-85c9-ed809c2b5e02%2F4e15bebd-3576-4f0d-89f6-0ad2c927cf12%2F901n2vf_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
