When is the technique of continuous extraction employed in differential extraction?

Options

  1. AWhen the organic compound is highly soluble in the organic solvent
  2. BWhen the organic compound is less soluble in the organic solvent
  3. CWhen the organic compound is soluble in water
  4. DWhen the organic compound is a solid

Correct answer

B. When the organic compound is less soluble in the organic solvent

Step-by-step solution

Continuous extraction is employed in differential extraction when the organic compound is less soluble in the organic solvent, requiring multiple extractions to recover it efficiently.
