1. The concentration of iodine in water and trichloromethane was 0.24 mol.dm³ and 0.012 mol.dm³ respectively. Find the partition coefficient between water and trichloromethane.



Answer :

Despina

Answer:

  • K = 20

Explanation:

The partition coefficient (K) between two phases, in water and trichloromethane can be calculated by,

  • Partition coefficient = concentration of iodine in water/ concentration of iodine in trichloromethane.

[tex] \sf K = \dfrac{ 0.24 \: mol \:dm^{-3} }{ 0.012 \: mol \: dm^{-3} }[/tex]

[tex] \sf K = 20[/tex]

So, the partition coefficient between water and trichloromethane is 20.
