The solvent used in liquid-liquid extraction should have _______________ less than one?

Correct answer: D. Neither A. nor B.

  • A. Selectivity
  • B. Distribution co-efficient
  • C. Both A. and B.
  • D. Neither A. nor B.

Explanation

A useful extraction solvent should have high selectivity and a favourable distribution coefficient, not values below one. Therefore, neither property is required to be less than one.
