Q3 Shown below is the solubility data for organic compound X in water and dichloromethane.

а.calculate the partition coefficient ordistribution coefficient defined in class for organic compound X based on the solubility data. Show your work. b. A 95mL impure aqueous solution containing 1.00g of organic compound X was given to a student for analysis. The student decided to perform multiple extractions to extract the aqueous solution using 35mL of dichloromethane each extraction. For this quiz/exam question (without help from unauthorized resources), calculate the number of extraction that is required in order to recover 92% of the organic compound X from the organic layer after the multiple extractions.Show all your work by clearly defining the values of different parameters when solving the problem. You will need the result calculated from part (a) to complete this question. Report the final value to the closest integer.
