For extraction of organic solvents generally diethylether is used because organic substances are generally soluble in ether and ether has got a low boiling point making its removal after the extraction very easy.

What are types of solvents for plant extraction?
Plants material contains Organic compounds along with salts and water, some organic compounds are polar and soluble in ethyl alcohol or ethyl acetate but some are non polar and soluble in ether or hexane, so two types of solvents may be used for plants extraction, the best way is to use non polar solvent first and extract the non polar compounds then use the polar solvent and extract the polar compounds.

Which solvent should you use to separate benzoin from benzil?
HNO3= nitric acid
What possible solvent is used for hydrohalogenation reactions?
Ether
Volatile liquid used chiefly as a solvent?
ether
Why can't alcohol be substituted for ether as an extraction solvent?
No, alcohol is a polar solvent and extracts only polar components while ether is used to extract the non polar constituents.
What is the use of 2 chloroethanol?

How is extraction related to chromatography?
Both are techniques of analytical chemistry and use a solvent.

Does NaCl dissolve in petroleum ether?
It is not soluble.
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).
How can remove the bromine from hexane solvent?
By solvent extraction with water. By fractional distillation.
What possible solvent is used for hydrohalogenation reactions?
Ether
