Solution Preview

The main reason why someone would get errors in extraction is closely related to how well does the solvent dissolves in each of the extracting solvent. When we say we will extract compound X from solvent Y it does not mean that X is absolutely insoluble in Y. However what that means is that it has extremely low solubility in solvent Y and upon addition of the extraction solvent the "partitioning ...
