Partition coefficients (Kow = organic solvent concentration/aqueous concentration, usually %3D 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) %3D Diethyl ether (log Kow = 0.83)

Your group was allocated an unknown substance X and instructed to measure its partition coefficient between an organic solvent and water as part of a lab activity. 4 grams of X are dissolved and shaken in a combination of 130 mL benzene and 100 mL water. Finally, your group identified 0.5 g of X in the benzene layer. Calculate the partition coefficient using the information supplied. What can you tell about substance X's chemical composition?
Defining the partition coefficient as the concentration ratio of a substance in an organic solvent to the aqueous solvent ([organic layer]/[water layer]), then a Kp organic/water value of 5.3 represents a solvent system where Select one: O a. the extracted substance is more soluble in the organic solvent than water. O b. the extracted substance is more soluble in the water than the organic solvent. O c. the extracted substance is equally soluble in both the organic solvent and water. O d. It is not possible to make any conclusions about the solubility of the extracted substance.
