Chapter 4, Problem 4F.2E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The new concentrations of  organic layer and water after the given processes has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Distribution constant:

It is the ratio of concentrations of a compound in a mixture of two immiscible phases at equilibrium. The knowledge of $pka$ value of a molecule helps to determine apparent partition coefficient at any $pH$

$K_D=\frac{C_{organic}}{C_{water}}\boxed{\begin{array}{l}where,\\ K_D:Distributioncoefficient\\ C_{organic}:Molarconcentrationoforganiclayer\\ C_{water}:Molarconcentrationofaqueouslayer\end{array}}$

$\text{Concentration}=\frac{\text{Number}\text{of}\text{moles}\left(\text{mol}\right)}{\text{Volume}\left(\text{L}\right)}$
