Question
Variation in volume of extraction solvent: compound X is dissolved in 20.0 mL of solvent B.
Assuming a partition coefficient of
PX,AB of 5.0, calculate the percentage of X that remains in
solvent B if it is extracted the following volumes of solvent A:
 
1.0 mL
10.0 mL
20.0 mL
100.0 mL
Expert Solution
Given Data:

· Volume of Solvent VB = 20.0 mL· Partition coefficient PX·AB = 5.0  · Volumes of Solvent A VA are =  · 1.0 mL      · 10.0 mL     · 20.0 mL    · 100.0 mL  We need to calculate the percentage of "X" that remains in solvent B
