1. Two chemists are using water in sepratory funnels to wash out salts from each of their crude reaction mixtures. A wash with 100. mL of water removes approximately 85% of the salts. Chemist 1 does one wash with 300. mL, while chemist 2 does three separate washes of 100. mL each. While each chemist used a total of 300. mL of water, one of them removed more salts. Suppose that each crude reaction mixture had 10.0 g of salt initially, calculate the amount of salt remaining for both chemists? Show your work. Which chemist removed more salt?
