A chemistry student wishes to extract 2.34 g of compound X from 15 mL of an aqueous mixture. She has two solvents available with the following characteristics: Solvent Solubility of X in 100 mL of solvent Hexane 36.92 Chloroform 28.33 Water 16.52 However, the student only has enough hexane (exactly 10 mL) for one extraction. On the other hand, she has enough chloroform (exactly 20 mL) to perform either 1 extraction with 20 mL or 2 sequential extractions with 10 mL each.
