An unknown substance "A" was allowed to partition between a mixture of 150 mL water and 80 mL benzene. After titration, you found that 0.75 moles of "A" was dissolved in the water while 0.60 moles dissolved in benzene. Calculate for the partition coefficient of substance "A". What can you infer about the nature of substance "A" based on the value of the partition coefficient?
Ethyl heptanoate (EH), a food aroma compound, was added to water and allowed to come to equilibrium with a known volume of air and results showed that its partition coefficient, [EHair]/[EHwater] is equal to 1.8 x 10-2. In the same experiment with oil in place of water, its partition coefficient, [EHair]/[EHoil] is found to be lower at 6.0 x 10-6. Account for the difference between the two values.
Three extractions with 50 ml portions of chloroform removed 97% of a solute from 200 ml of an aqueous solution. Calculate the partition coefficient of the solute: KD =Cchloro/Caq- Two weak bases (organic amities) have basic dissociation constants of KbA= 1 x 104 and KbB =1 x 10-8. Both bases have partition coefficients of approximately 10 between chloroform and water. Describe a procedure, making use of the difference in K, for separating the two by extraction. Two weak acids, HX and HY, have partition coefficients, Kp = Cet/Caq, of 5 and 50 respectively, and dissociation constants of 1 x 104 and 1 x 108, respectively. Calculate the distribution ratios of the two acids at integral values of pH of the aqueous solution from pH 4 to pH 11, assuming equal volumes of the two solvents. What is the minimum pH for which the ratio of D values is at least 105?
10mL of an aqueous solution containing 0.020 M RCOOH (pKa = 6.00) is mixed with 10mL of CCI4. The partition coefficient is 3.0. When the pH of the aqueous phase is adjusted to 6.00, 0.012 M of RCOOH is measured in the CCL4 phase. What will be the formal concentration of RCOOH in the aqueous solution if its pH was adjusted to 7.00 before extraction?

The active ingredient in Tylenol is acetaminophen. Suppose you had a mixture of acetaminophen and sodium chloride and wanted to separate it. Acetaminophen is soluble in ethyl acetate, CH3COOEt, and slightly soluble in water. Sodium chloride, on the other hand, is water soluble. Let’s assume that the partition coefficient for acetaminophen is KD = 8 between ethyl acetate and water mixture. If we start with a salt acetaminophen mixture that contains 10 g of acetaminophen dissolved in 100 mL of water, how much acetaminophen can we extract with two extractions of ethyl acetate 20 mL each?Do each extraction separately. Calculate how much do you extract with one extraction first. Then consider how much remains in the aqueous layer and extract again.
The octanol - water aqueous buffer partition coefficients (P) for a drug used to treat glaucoma were obtained experimentally at various temperatures (T) and pH values. The results are presented in the following table: pH=7.0 0.72 0.84 pH=6.25 pH=7.25 T= 27 C 0.24 0.89 T= 30 C 0.31 1.06 T= 40 C 1.23 1.49 27.4 mg of this drug were dissolved in 100 mL of buffered water (pH=7.0; T=30) and then partitioned with octanol portions of 37.1 mL. Calculate how many mg of drug will remain in water after in the first extraction (Fill in ONLY numbers approximated to the 2nd decimal place) Answer: 19.01
Partition coefficients (Kow = organic solvent concentration/aqueous concentration, usually reported as log Kow) are important for determining how efficiently organic compounds can be extracted from aqueous solutions. For example, consider the two substances below. Which will be more soluble in water? Hexamethylbenzene (log Kow = 6.41) O Diethyl ether (log Kow = 0.83)

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?
