|
Definition
| by treating the layer containing the product with hexanes or petroleum ether twice |
|
|
Term
| Why a double extraction is used for this experiment |
|
Definition
| to remove all the product |
|
|
Term

Term
|
Definition
taking something out of something else into something you want
you want to keep what you extract into
example: keep coffee, but not the grinds |
