fractional volume of an extraction solvent

An optimum volume of an extraction solvent is the calculated volume of an extraction solvent needed to extract all the desired solute from a given mass of a solid material based on the liquid to solid ratio experimentally established.

A Fractional Volume of an extraction solvent is a fraction of the optimum volume of the extraction solvent, into which the optimum volume of an extraction solvent is equally divided.

A Fractional Volume of an extraction solvent is an equal fraction of the optimum volume of the extraction solvent, into which the optimum volume of an extraction solvent is divided.
If 100ml hot water is required to extract all the tea from a tea bag, then 100ml hot water is the optimum volume of the extraction solvent. Ten 10ml volumes of hot water are fractional volumes of an extraction solvent i.e. hot water. Each fractional volume of an extraction solvent can then be used to extract the tea from the tea bag in a single extraction cycle. To use all the ten fractional volumes of the extraction solvent it would need to carry out the extraction in ten extraction cycles. Should one opt to use 20ml of hot water to extract the tea from the tea bag, then the optimum volume of the extraction solvent, 100ml ought to be divided into five fractional volumes of an extraction solvent (hot water), each of which equals 20ml. The fractional volume of the extraction solvent of 20ml would then be used in each extraction cycle.

A term used in describing someone as having a nonexistent attention span.
Bubba Joe: So then I licked Sarah's pussy clean while Jane ate my asshole. And while all of this was going on, Mary Ann rode my rock hard cock like a nympho on steroids. But that's not it, cuz I also had Gina rubbing her titties on my body while I grabbed Rhonda and Taylor's breasts. Plus, the dozen other girls were masturbating and having multi-orgasms until the break of dawn.
Jacky Keith: Did you say something? I was listening to Easy Street.
Bubba Joe: You pathetic fuck. You have the attention span of an anti-sex addict on Pornhub.

Smells like the inside of an ass hole

The worse smell imaginable because in an ass hole there is a lot of shit and fart concentrated and confined to a very small place.
What is that smell? It smells like the inside of an ass hole.

A description of a political ideology which is accurate and possibly offensive. People often don't like accurate descriptions because it's not what their favorite author made up.
Damn I hate those leftist nazis and marxist democrats! I totally have an accurate description of their ideologies in my mind! don't you see they are both the exact same? (Despite the fact that they both want to blow each other up and one supports private property and the other doesn't) an accurate description of an ideology is whatever my favorite author wants it to be!
