6. Suppose you have an organic sample X that is somewhat soluble in water, but is more soluble in dichloromethane or ether solvents. Now, if you do a single extraction of X from water (using either ether of dichloromethane), you get only 60% of your material to transfer from the water to the organic layer. • How many extractions would it take to extract over 90% of your organic material extracted from the water layer? (Show your mathematical reasoning). would it be better to extract with dichloromethane or with ether? case, • In this Why?

If 80% of a desired compound is extracted into the organic phase in each step (leaving 20% in the aqueous layer), how many extractions are necessary to ensure that at least 99% of the compound has been recovered in the organic phase? 1 extraction 2 extractions 3 extractions 4 extractions
Dr. Alghe has just performed a restriction digest on DNA she extracted from her samples. She must now run her DNA out on a gel to separate the fragments based on size. To do this she must prepare a 1.2% agarose gel, where the percentage is determined as mass/vol. How many grams of agarose must she add to 200 mL of buffer in order to arrive at the correct percentage?
