separation

extraction
Extraction is a technique used to separate compounds based upon their different solubilities in two solvents that don’t mix.
Usually, one of the solvents will be water and the other will be an immiscible organic solvent (often methylene chloride, diethyl ether, or ethyl acetate).
In general, very non-polar compounds will partion to the organic solvent and very polar compounds and salts will partion to the aqueous phase. Since the two solvents do not mix, they can be separated in a Separatory Funnel providing a very quick and easy way to separate compounds.
Whether the water layer is on the top or bottom depends on the density of the other solvent (methylene chloride is heavier than water and goes to the bottom of the separtory funnel and diethyl ether and ethyl acetate are lighter than water and stay on the top).
