What is the purpose of the ether extraction

Ether extraction is used in the determination of Uranyl nitrate also known as Uranium.

The extraction of uranyl nitrate depends on partition coefficient ( i.e the ration of equilibrium concentration in the ether layer to the of water layer) following formula is used for the extraction of uranium from ether extraction.

Percentage extracted =  partition coefficient / 1 + partition coefficient) x 100

Temperature, the concentration of salts and nitric acid can also affect the percentage yield of uranium during the extraction procedure.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.

the right answer is c i just did the question.
