Fractional solvent extraction______________________?

Correct answer: D. Employs two solvents

  • A. Employs only one solvent
  • B. None of these
  • C. Results in low interfacial tension
  • D. Employs two solvents

Explanation

Fractional solvent extraction uses two immiscible solvents and exploits the different distribution of solutes between them. The solutes can then be separated into fractions according to their relative solubilities.
