  "term": "Extractability",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A qualitative property indicating how readily, or to what degree, a substance is extracted from one phase into another under given conditions. The term is imprecise and is not used as a numerical quantity, so it is not a synonym for the fraction extracted. Quantitative descriptions use the distribution ratio, the extraction factor or the fraction extracted.",
