What weight of compound could be extracted if ONE 30-mL portion of benzene were used.

If the distribution constant, K were 0.5, for the distribution of a compound between benzene (solvent 1) and water (solvent 2), and equal volumes of the two solvents are used, how much compound will be left in the water after the three extractions.
