(e) Limonene is extracted from orange peel using a solvent.
Possible solvents are hexane and liquid carbon dioxide.
Liquid carbon dioxide can be obtained by allowing solid carbon dioxide to melt
under high pressure.
(i) Suggest one advantage and one disadvantage of using liquid carbon dioxide
rather than hexane to dissolve the limonene. Assume that the carbon dioxide
does not escape into the atmosphere.

(ii) Orange peel contains 1.63 % of limonene by mass.

A chewing gum remover contains 30 cm3 of limonene per bottle.
Calculate the mass of orange peel, in kg, needed to obtain 30 cm3 of limonene.
[Density of limonene = 0.841 g cm–3]
