Solute S has a partition co-efficient of 3.0 between water (Phase 1) and Chloroform (Phase 2). (a) Calculate the concentration of S in chloroform if [S(aq)] is 0.015 M. (b) If the volume of water is 75.0 mL and the volume of chloroform is 15.0 mL, find the quotient (mol S in chloroform)/(mol S in water).
