An extraction experiment was carried out with the soxhlet extraction technique to obtain oil from a plant seed. In the experiment, 10 g of plant seeds were taken and extracted with 150 mL of hexane solvent. The oil-hexane mixture obtained at the end of the extraction will be separated in the rotary evaporator and the mass and percent extraction efficiency of the collected oil will be calculated. The data obtained at the end of the experiment are given in the table below. Accordingly, calculate the amount of oil obtained, the amount of oil obtained per 1 g of plant seed and the percent extraction efficiency by establishing a mass conservation balance around the rotary evaporator. The tare of the sampled balloon Initial mass (balloon + solvent + oil) Tare the balloon in which the solvent was collected At the end of the experiment, the balloon + solvent mass in which the solvent is collected 35 88.13 45 93.47 Weighing result (g)
