A 72.0 g sample of an organic solid is dissolved in 180mL of water. The solid is extracted using one 60 mL extraction in the first extraction of an organic solvent which has a partition (distribution) coefficient with water of 10. The first extraction removed 55.4 g of solid from water. What are the numbers that need to go in box A and B to calculate the volume of solvent (y) that would be necessary to remove an additional 7.0g from the remaining sample dissolved in water. You DON'T have to complete the calculation to solve for y.

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

mass of sample

volume of water

volume for extraction

partition (distribution) coefficient water

initial extraction removal

Generally the equation for the weight of sample  is mathematically given by

Generally the weight extracted is therefore

is extracted with 60ml solvent .

Therefore volume of solvent (y) that would be necessary to remove an additional 7.0g

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.

explanation:

your answer would be “dry”
