Question

The technique used to purify an organic compound present in aqueous medium and which is less soluble in organic solvent is

• A. Steam distillation
• B. Differential extraction
• C. Continuous extraction
• D. Fractional distillation

Hint:

In continuous extraction, the process is repeated multiple times to achieve efficient separation, especially for compounds with low solubility.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Continuous extraction is used for purifying an organic compound that is less soluble in organic solvents, as it allows continuous separation over time.
