Best Answer

A solvent extraction is best done by using a separatory funnel. Add your compound to one of the two immiscible solvents and add everything to the funnel. Invert it once or twice, making sure to release any accumulated gas to prevent a buildup of pressure. The compound will naturally pick the solvent that it is more soluble in. Then drain them out one at a time. You're compound will be present in one of them.
