A 1.5 L of organic compound solution contain 8.0 g of benzoic acid. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) solvent was used to extract the benzoic acid from the organic compounds into a diluted sodium bicarbonate solution via liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) method. The extracted benzoic acid was transformed into sodium benzoate aqueous solution after LLE. Caculate the total amount of the analyte extracted if the LLE process performed with 1:3 ratio for 3 times, with the recovery of 40% for every step.

Question
A 1.5 L of organic compound solution contain 8.0 g of benzoic acid. Methyl tert-butyl
ether (MTBE) solvent was used to extract the benzoic acid from the organic compounds
into a diluted sodium bicarbonate solution via liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) method. The
extracted benzoic acid was transformed into sodium benzoate aqueous solution after
LLE. Calculate the total amount of the analyte extracted if the LLE process performed
with 1:3 ratio for 3 times, with the recovery of 40% for every step.
