Question

Am I calculating this correctly?

Single 10 mL Extraction and Determination of Distribution Coefficient

1) Calculation of initial amount of benzoic acid in grams 

Volume of benzoic acid solution: 50.00 mL

Molarity of benzoic acid solution: 0.0205 M

50.00 mL x 1 L/1000 mL L x 0.0205 mol/L x 122.122 g/mol = 0.12517505 g ≈ 0.125 g of benzoic acid

A2. Calculation of amount of benzoic acid (g) remaining in aqueous solution after extraction with 10 mL of methylene chloride 

BA + NaOH --> sodium benzoate + H2O

BA = 0.0205 M

NaOH = 0.0189 M

NaOH volume used = 17.4 mL

Moles of NaOH:

0.0189 mol/L x 17.4 mL x 1L/1000 mL = 0.00032886 moles of NaOH

BA:NaOH = 1:1, therefore there is 0.00032886 moles of BA remaining in aqueous phase

0.00032886 moles BA x 122.122 g/mol = 0.04016106 g

0.12517505 g BA (original) - 0.04016106 g BA (remaining) = 0.08158944 g BA in 10 mL of dichloromethane

If everything is done correctly, how would I calculate of the amount of benzoic acid (g) extracted into the methylene chloride layer?
