NEETChemistryGeneral Organic Chemistry
When is the technique of continuous extraction employed in differential extraction?
Options
- AWhen the organic compound is highly soluble in the organic solvent
- BWhen the organic compound is less soluble in the organic solvent
- CWhen the organic compound is soluble in water
- 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.
