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?

2.1g of sample are dissolved in methylene chloride and the sample is extracted with an aqueous solution of acid and base. Three compounds are isolated - 0.7g of ethyl p-aminobenzoate, 0.6 g of acetanilide, and 0.5 g of benzoic acid. Calculate the % composition of ethyl p-aminobenzoate in the recovered mixture. (Round the answer to 1 significant figure. Give just the number, not a % sign.)
The boiling points for the compounds are 118 °C and 35 °C respectively. The solubility for both compounds is the same (8g/100g water). Explain this observation for (i) boiling point disparity; (ii) solubility similarity H-bonds form in diethyl ether; n-butyl alcohol forms H-bonds in water H-bonds form in n-butyl alcohol; diethyl ether forms H-bonds in water H-bonds in n-butyl alcohol; Both compounds form H-bonds in water O Both compounds form H-bonds; Both compounds form H-bonds in water

You are employed as a coop student at the Drug and Alcohol Testing Association of Canada (DATAC) developing analytical tests for sports doping agents. You are asked to prepare a procedure for the extraction of methylphenidate, the active compound in Ritalin, from urine samples (consider them as simple aqueous layers, you do not need to consider other components!). The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.Your colleague is helping you develop the urine test. They suggest that the urine should be adjusted to a pH above 7 before extracting with the organic solvent. Why is this necessary? Support your explanation with a full arrow-pushing mechanism for the reaction that would occur if the pH was below 7. Include all formal charges, intermediates (if applicable) and products.
