Question:

In organic synthesis many reactions produce very little yield, that is K ≪ 1. Consider the following hypothetical reaction: A(aq) + B(aq) → C(aq), K = 1 x 10-2. We can extract product, C, from the aqueous layer by adding an organic layer in which C(aq) → C(or), K = 15. Given initial concentrations of [A] = 0.1 M, [B] = 0.1, and [C] = 0.1, calculate how much C will be found in the organic layer. If the organic layer was not present, how much C would be produced?
