Which of the following solvents would potentially be suitable for extracting an organic compound from water? (You should be able to answer this question based on your general knowledge of organic solvents.)
| A. |
diethyl ether |
|
| B. |
chloroform |
|
| C. |
hexane |

Generally we are using an ether as the best and potential solvent to extract organic compounds from the mixture.
If you want to extract a compound from water then Hexanes is the better choice because hexane has less solubility in water than that of ether.
Potential solvent for extracting an organic compound from water is Hexane.
