Some reactions produce both nonpolar products and nonpolar sideproducts. If the product precipitates in ether (because of its poor solubility) and the side products are not, then the ether can be added to the product-sideproduct mixture and filtered out. The solid product filtered out will be saved and the rest (the ether and side products) tossed out.
If the product is soluble in ether and the side-products are not, then the solid that is filtered would be tossed out and the ether and the desired product it contains will be kept. Purification of the product could be done by evaporating the volatile ether under a fume hood.

What do you use ether for?
An Ether is sprayed into the air intake to start a stubborn engine. It may also be added to the fuel in race cars for extra power. also, Ether is used as a anesthetic for surgery - they started using Ether to replace chloroform which is very toxic
Why must people be careful when using ether?
Ether is an extremely effective solvent for many chemical reactions but is extremely dangerous. First and foremost, ether is extremely flammable. In enclosed environments, ether can also exhibit certain explosive properties (explosions in meth labs are often the result of the use of ether solvents and poor ventilation). Many ether solvents will degrade to a peroxide form which can be extremely volatile. Expired casks of ether must be treated very carefully (bomb-squads are often called upon to dispose of expired ether kegs at chemistry labs). Ether also has psychoactive properties which for many years were utilized by the medical community as a general anesthetic. In general, ether must only be used in extremely ventilated environments with proper fire safety devices.
What is the solvent in an experiment?
The solvent is the liquid you will be using if you are dissolving something in the experiment.
Are all solids equally soluble in the same solvent?
Absolutely not! Using gasoline as a solvent, wax dissolves in it but glass will not dissolve at all. Using water as a solvent, salt dissolves in it but pepper will not dissolve at all. Using hydrofluoric acid as a solvent, glass dissolves in it but wax will not dissolve at all.
What name is given to the method of extracting copper from an ore using electricity?
This process is called "electrowinning" of copper.
What are the adavantages of using ether as an extraction solvent?
The major disadvantage of using ether as an extracting solvent is that it is very flammable. It also oxidizes into an explosive in some cases, is an anesthetic, and is very vapor dense (meaning it will fall to the floor and move around there).

What would happen to the isolation process if you use a more polar solvent such as methatnol inteasd of dietyl ether?
Most of the organic compounds are not sufficiently polar and are insoluble in polar solvent like methanol so only polar fractions may be separated by using methanol.
What does extracting data mean?
one example is when you are unzipping a game on the p.c using the help of winrar[extracting program] Another example is when you take something out extracting it.
A sentence using the word solvent?
Be careful with that solvent!

ether by leveling your Pokemon or using a quick claw
What is the danger in using ether?
You can use it to render someone unconscious and its flammable.
