You have a solution that contains 4.0 g of oxalic acid dissolved in 100 mL of water. This solution is placed in a separatory funnel, and then 100 mL of diethyl ether is added to the separatory funnel and an extraction is performed. (Diethyl ether and water are immiscible solvents.) Use the following constants to calculate how much oxalic acid is in each solvent after the extraction. Solubility of oxalic acid in water = 9.5 g / 100 mL Solubility of oxalic acid in ether = 16.9 g / 100 mL
