the organic substance being more soluble in organic solvent in transferred from aqueous layer to the organic layer.

Q. The process of separation of an organic compound from its aqueous solution by shaking with a suitable solvent is termed solvent extraction or differential extraction. The organic compound present in aqueous layer moves to the organic solvent because

the organic substance is more soluble in the organic solvent

organic compound being lighter moves in the upper layer

organic solvent is insoluble in water hence organic compound moves up

form the supersaturated aqueous solution the solute starts diffusing

the organic substance being more soluble in organic solvent in transferred from aqueous layer to the organic layer.

Q. The process of separation of an organic compound from its aqueous solution by shaking with a suitable solvent is termed solvent extraction or differential extraction.

The organic compound present in aqueous layer moves to the organic solvent because
