An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible.
During extraction of liquid liquid Emulsions commonly occur when a sample contains a high amount of surfactant-like compounds (that is, phospholipids, free fatty acids, triglycerides, and so on). These surfactant-like molecules are large and will have mutual solubility in the aqueous and organic solvents which results in the formation of an emulsion in a mid-zone between the two phases

1) Explain how saturated NaCl solution would help draw the water away from the organic layer in the emulsion layer. 2) You have a solution of 30 mg of caffeine dissolved in 100 mL of water. The partition coefficient for aqueous caffeine extracted with Dichloromethane (CH2C12) is 4.6. Show all work for the following calculations: a. Calculate the total mg extracted by using a single 30 mL portion of dichloromethane. b. Calculate the total mg extracted by using a three...
