1. You started with 25 g of a compound. After recrystallization you
lost 5g of the compound. Calculate the percent recovery of the
compound.
25g 5g = 20g
20g/25g x 100 = 80%

2. Assume an organic compound A has a partition coefficient
between water nd ethyl acetate equal to 6, and 15 g of A
dissolved in 100mL of water. If 20mL of ethyl acetate are added,
calculate how much of A remains in the water layer.
