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.

or

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.

An AP Human Geography CD created by Mr. Domenico that supposedly comes out in January 2021. The dance moves are used to depict different vocabulary words part of the AP Human curriculum. Ester Boserup is pictured on the front cover. DOMENICO WE WANT COPIES.
The Dynamic Domenico Dance Volume 2 comes out in January. However, if the supply chains do not hold up there will be no DDDV2.

Fractional Volume of an extraction solvent is a fraction of the optimum volume of the extraction solvent obtained by dividing the optimum volume of the extraction solvent needed to extract all of the desired solute from a given mass of the solid material into equal smaller volumes for use in separate extraction cycles
If 100ml of an extraction solvent is the optimum volume that would extract all the herbal solute from a medicinal herb, then 100ml/2 gives a fractional volume of an extraction solvent of 50ml, 100ml/3 gives a fraxtional volume of an extraction solvent of 33.333ml

100ml/4 gives a fraxtional volume of an extraction solvent of 25ml,
1/5 x 100 ml gives a fraxtional volume of an extraction solvent of 20ml.

Using fractional volumes of an extraction solvent for extraction purposes gives better extraction yields than using the optimum volume of an extraction solvent as a whole.

Bu**s**t!! This is merely what you **always** say when someone calls your help-line! You're just too cheap to hire enough customer-service reps!
Unless there actually was a recent major event like a power-outage or security-breach, DON'T BELIEVE IT if a company's caller-greeting recording says that, "We are currently experiencing higher-than-normal call-volumes; you may stay on the line and wait for the next representative, or you can leave a call-back number for one of our reps to return your call during this same business day, or you might want to try your call again later"... again, DON'T BELIEVE IT --- in all likelihood, this is merely what they ALWAYS tell ALL of their customers who call, no matter what time-period it is ! And whatever you do, DON'T THINK THAT "LEAVING YOUR NUMBER" WILL CAUSE THE COMPANY TO CALL YOU BACK... I have waited ALL THE REST OF THE DAY for a call-back, and the company **never** got back to me! The best thing to do, therefore, is to simply "stay on the line" to "keep your slot in the cue", even if it means a long wait... better to eventually get through than never reach a live person at all.

The best album from Coheed and Cambria so far. The melodies are fucking amazing and the guitar work blows my mind. I don't know how they do it. This is the kind of album you NEVER stop listening to.
Everyone should go buy Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness when it comes out the 20th!!!!!!!!!! Dont be a fucking bootlegger like me :(

They don't all need to be great the sheer volume is what makes it undeniably good. ALL of you are doing it.... A LOT. Objectively brilliant.
Hym "It's the volume of it, you know? You're ALL doing it all the time. AND my reach is being stifled. It's like I'm a retard in a group home and YOU don't want me to have the reach I might otherwise have should you not intervene. Ooooookkkkk. Ok. Is there some kind of boundary I'm crossing here!? OK. Ooooohhhh no. I get it. YOU'RE WRONG TO TRY AND STOP ME. That's the takeaway. You should be minding your own business right now. Don't worry about how much reach I have. Do worry about who I'm interacting with. It's none of your business... You don't have a right to stop me."
