A 300-mL aqueous solution containing a 30.0g of compound A is to be extracted with ether. The solubility of compound A in ether at room temperature is 20.0g/mL and in water is 8.00g/mL. Calculate the weight of the compound that would be recovered by extraction with (a) two 150-ml portions of ether (b) one 300-mL portion ether. Which portion gives a higher recovery for compound A?
