hi, expert please help me with this problem.. i need it before 5 pm thank you 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?  I HAVE 2 ANSWERS  (i don't know if it is correct hehehe) 1st Answer: partition coefficient (Kd)=conc. at 1st phase (C1) / conc. at 2nd phase (C2) Kd = C1/C2 = CH2O / CBenzene Kd = (4g-0.5g) / 100 mL / 0.5G/130 mL Kd = 0.035/0.003846154 Kd = 9.099 or 9.1   (my 1st answer) My 2nd Answer is on the picture please CHECK IF CORRECT. IF NOT PLEASE SEND THE CORRECT ANSWER THANK YOU.

hi, expert please help me with this problem.. i need it before 5 pm thank you

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? 

I HAVE 2 ANSWERS  (i don't know if it is correct hehehe)

1st Answer:

partition coefficient (Kd)=conc. at 1st phase (C1) / conc. at 2nd phase (C2)

Kd = C1/C2 = CH2O / CBenzene

Kd = (4g-0.5g) / 100 mL / 0.5G/130 mL

Kd = 0.035/0.003846154

Kd = 9.099 or 9.1   (my 1st answer)

My 2nd Answer is on the picture please CHECK IF CORRECT. IF NOT PLEASE SEND THE CORRECT ANSWER THANK YOU.
