−	The ethyl acetate partition coefficients of ~~Mescaline~~ between water and cactus material (the dry powder weight) are estimated to be '''<span style="color: Orange">K<sub>water</sub> = 3</span>''' and '''<span style="color: Orange">K<sub>powder</sub> = 1</span>''' respectively. These are estimates based on some ethyl acetate and water partitioning experiments, and a rough fit to extraction data when each pull is salted separately. If you decide to check the efficiency of each pull, you can make your fit to the data and report back on your observed partitioning coefficients. Note that for a single extraction, the parameter to fit is the constant '''<span style="color: Orange"> C = (1/K<sub>powder</sub>) * Mass of powder + (1/K<sub>water</sub>)*Mass of water)</span>'''. This constant will change with the amount of water added, and additional extractions with varying water amounts would be needed to isolate the partition coefficients. The online check list has a calculator that tracks the expected pull efficiency based on the mass balance of the extraction. It is possible to test different pull protocols and design your own, different from the 850g and 1700g options presented here. Mathematically, for a fixed volume of EA and number of pulls, peak yield is achieved when each pull returns the same amount of solvent (as with any extraction where equilibrium is reached), and this can be verified in the calculator. Larger ethyl acetate use will achieve higher yields in fewer pulls. The amount of solvent lost is the same for any pull scheme.

Since the mass is easier to track than volumes, these partition coefficients are mescaline concentrations relative to mass of solvent, water, and powder (not relative to volume).
