MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    A student plans on performing a liquid-liquid extraction to isolate an analyte from aqueous solution into acetone. Which of the following will most likely result from this experimental setup?

     

    A

    The extraction will work because organic solvents are not miscible with water.

    B

    The extraction will work because solvent choice is not relevant to liquid-liquid extraction efficiency.

    C

    The extraction will not work because the analyte is not soluble in acetone.

    D

    The extraction will not work because the solvents are miscible
