Suppose you are interested to extract most of the 5 grams of vitamin C dissolved in 100 mL of water using dichloromethane. The distribution coefficient for vitamin C between dichloromethane and water is 10. (KD vitamin C (CH2Cl2/H2O) = 10) (a) How much of vitamin C will be extracted in the CH2Cl2 if you extract it from water one time with 75 mL of CH2Cl2? (b)How much of vitamin C will be extracted in the CH2Cl2 if you extract it from water three times with 25 mL of CH2Cl2?
