You have 150 mL of 0.25 M n-propylamine and you shake this in a mixture of 90 mL of water and 50 mL of an organic solvent and let it achieve equilibrium. You removed the water layer and titrated it using 0.30 M HCl, where end point of the titration was achieved at around 42.5 mL. Calculate for the partition coefficient of n-propylamine and describe the affinity of the compound based on the value you obtain.

A 78 mg sample of an organic compound (molar mass = 84.0 g/mol) is partitioned between 2.00 mL of water and 2.00 mL of methylene chloride. Separation and processing of the organic phase results in the isolation of 58 mg of the organic compound. Calculate the partition coefficient for the compound between methylene chloride and water (Kpmethylene chloride/water). Your answer should reflect the proper number of significant figures.

As part of a lab exercise, your group was assigned an unknown compound X for which you had to determine its partition coefficient between an organic solvent and water. You dissolve and shake 4 grams of X in a mixture of 130 mL benzene and 100 mL of water. At the end, your group discovered that the benzene layer contained 0.5 g of X. Use the information provided to calculate for the partition coefficient. What can you say about the chemical nature of compound X?

Conventional wisdom says that it’s always better to extract with several small portions rather than one large portion. Is this really true? Compound A has a partition coefficient (Kp) of 3.5. If you start with a solution of 150 mg of compound A in 1.0 mL water, the amount that is recovered by extraction with one 300 uL portion of ether is 76.8 mg. How much A would be recovered after extraction with two 150 uL portions of ether instead of one 300 uL portion of ether?
