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.

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.
