Two chemicals are present in the same sample, where compound Ais the analyte of interest and B is a possible interfering agent.It is known that A has a distribution ratio of 26.7 at pH = 7.0when extracted from water with toluene. Compound B has adistribution coefficient ratio of 0.24 under the sameconditions.
A) What percent of each compound will be extracted from a 100.0mL sample of water when using 20.0 mL of toluene in a single-stepextraction?
B) What percent of A and B will be extracted after two, threeand four extractions if each extraction step uses a fresh 20.0 mLportion of toluene?
C) Describe how the recovery and purity of compound A willchange as the
number of extractions increases in this sample.
