When the solvent dissolves very little of solute, then__________________________?

Correct answer: C. Large quantity of solvent is required to extract the solute

  • A. Solvent of low latent heat of vaporisation should be used
  • B. Solvent of low freezing point should be used
  • C. Large quantity of solvent is required to extract the solute
  • D. Very small quantity of solvent is required

Explanation

If the solvent has low solubility for the solute, each unit of solvent extracts only a small amount. Consequently, a large quantity of solvent is needed to achieve the desired recovery.
