Aluminium (III) reacts with the Chelating agent HL to give a complex AlL3 that is readily soluble in CHCl3. A spectrophotometric study shows that when a 1.77 x10-4 M aqueous solution of aluminium was extracted with CHCl3 containing 0.01M HL, the analytical concentration of aluminium at pH 4.5 in the two phases were 1.5 x 10-4 M [Al3+]upper) and 2.73 x10-5 M ([AlL3]lower) . What is the distribution coefficient at pH 4.8.
