200mLX1 vs 100mLX2:


Many extractions with a small amount of solvent are more efficient than one extraction with a large amount of solvent.

Use the "distribution coefficient" to prove it!

Can you change the solubility of a compound?


After chemically active separation, how would you recover the original compounds from the chemically altered form?
