700 mg of Antimony (Sb) was dissolved in 100 mL of HCl, an equal volume of isopropyl ether was added, and the system thoroughly shaken. The layers were separated; and the ether, evaporated. The residue was found to contain 685 mg of Antimony. What is the distribution ratio? What is the partition coefficient?
