The distribution coefficient, k = (conc. in ligroin/ conc. in water), between ligroin and water for solute A is 7.

The distribution coefficient, k = (conc. in ligroin/ conc. in water), between ligroin and water for solute A is 7.5 . What weight of A would be removed from a solution of 10g of A in 100mL of water by a single extraction with 100 mL of ligroin? What weight of A would be removed by four successive extractions with 25mL portions of ligroin? How much ligroin would be required to remove 98.5% of A in a single extraction?
