A researcher wishes to obtain a glycoside (an organic compound) from an aqueous plant extract using the solvent extraction technique. She therefore performs the following steps: Step 1: An aqueous solution (100 mL) containing 7 g of the glycoside was shaken with 50 mL of   ethyl acetate.  Step 2: The resulting aqueous layer from Step 1 was further shaken with 50 mL of dichloromethane.     Given that:  KD for the glycoside in ethyl acetate-water = 0.8 KD for the glycoside in dichloromethane-water = 0.9 (i)Calculate the total mass of glycoside extracted.                                          (ii)If the molar mass of the glycoside = 784.3 g/mol, calculate the molar concentration of the glycoside remaining in the aqueous layer after each extraction.

A researcher wishes to obtain a glycoside (an organic compound) from an aqueous plant extract using the solvent extraction technique. She therefore performs the following steps:

Step 1: An aqueous solution (100 mL) containing 7 g of the glycoside was shaken with 50 mL of   ethyl acetate. 

Step 2: The resulting aqueous layer from Step 1 was further shaken with 50 mL of dichloromethane.    

Given that:

 KD for the glycoside in ethyl acetate-water = 0.8

KD for the glycoside in dichloromethane-water = 0.9

(i)Calculate the total mass of glycoside extracted.                                          (ii)If the molar mass of the glycoside = 784.3 g/mol, calculate the molar concentration of the glycoside remaining in the aqueous layer after each extraction.
