Organic Chemistry Question?

cant figure out these three questions
help me out yo :)

the solubility of 4-cresol in water at 25 degrees celsius is 56.0 g/L and in ether at the same teperature 310.0 g/L. Calculate the value of Kp. If you were given 2.5g of 4-cresol in 50 in mL of water, calculate the weights of p-cresol which would be extracted into 150 mL of ether by a single extraction, and the total weight extracted by three sequential extractions with 50 mL of ether each.

why is sodium benzoate more soluble in water than ether

by extraction techniques how would you seperate a mixture of phenylacetic acid (pKa=4.28), 2-cresol (a phenol of pKa= 10.2), 2-dimethylbenzene (a neutral compound) and quinoline (a base, pKa of its conjugate acid 4.90)

solve this?! and your a genius :P
Thnx
