Consider a 20.0 mL of 0.100 M methanoic acid (aq) solution.  It is extracted with 20.0 mL ether (organic solvent).  After the aqueous and organic layers are separated, it was determined that 0.00100 mol methanoic acid remains in the aqueous layer. A. What is the concentration of methanoic acid, extracted in the 20 mL ether? B. What is the concentration of methanoic acid, left in the 20 mL aq solution? C. What is the distribution equilibrium constant?
