Suppose solute $$\mathrm{A}$$ has a distribution coefficient of $$1.0$$ between water and diethyl ether. Demonstrate that if $$1.0\mathrm{mL}$$ of a solution of $$50\mathrm{mg}$$ of $$A$$ in water were extracted with two $$0.25$$ $$\mathrm{mL}$$ portions of ether, a smaller amount of $$A$$ would remain in the water than if the solution were extracted with one 0.50-mL portion of ether.
