Consider the distribution of a solute X between two immiscible solvents: water and ether.
X(aq) = X(ether)
The equilibrium constant, Kc, is 0.15 at 25°C.
50 cm³ of a solution of X in ether at 25°C contains 21.5g of X. 100 cm³ of water is added,
shaken with the ether solution and allowed to reach equilibrium at 25°C.
