This is a partition coefficient problem. You need to make sure what K is. IF it is organic layer/aqueous layer, then the following applies.
f<sub>n</sub> = [1 + K<sub>d</sub>*(V<sub>o</sub>/V<sub>a</sub>)]<sup>-n</sup>.
where f<sub>n</sub> = fraction solute REMAINING in the water layer after n extractions, Vo = volume organic solvent and Va = volume aqueous layer. Post your work if you get stuck.

what volume? sorry out of school for 30yrs! also 2nd part give soluability of 20/100ml in ether & 13.3g/100ml in water and the experiment is being done with 30g (mw 188.61) in 300ml of water to be extracted wih ether. I don't knwo how to proceed
