Answer:

It could be extracted 0.512 g of solute

Explanation:

The equation that relates the K_{D} and the volumes of organic and aqueous phases is:

q_{solute-aq} =\frac{V_{aq} }{K_{D}xV_{org} + V_{aq}  }

Where q_{solute-aq} refers to the fraction of solute remaining in the aqueous phase, V_{aq} is the aqueos phase volume, V_{org} is the organic phase volume and K_{D} is the partition coefficient of the solute in the solvents.

Moreover,for the three consecutive extractions of the same volume of organic phase we can write:

q_{solute-aq} =(\frac{V_{aq} }{K_{D}xV_{org} + V_{aq}  })^{ 3}

So, plugging the values given into the equation we get:

q_{solute-aq} =(\frac{100 mL }{2.7x10 mL + 100 mL  })^{ 3}

q_{solute-aq} =0.488

The result obtained indicates that a fraction of 0.488 of solute remains in the aqueous phase.

Taking in account that the fraction formula is:

q_{solute-aq} = \frac{mass- of- solute- aq}{initial-mass- of -solute}

0.488= \frac{mass- of- solute- aq}{1.0 g}\\\\0.488 x 1.0 g= {mass- of- solute- aq}\\0.488 g= {mass- of- solute- aq}\\

Finally we substract the solute in the aqueous phase form the initial to get the amount in the organic phase:

1.0g - 0.488g = 0.512 g

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Solvent 1 = benzene,          Solvent 2 = water

 K_{p} = 2.7,         V_{S_{2}} = 100 mL

V_{S_{1}} = 10 mL,       weight of compound = 1 g

       Extract = 3

Therefore, calculate the fraction remaining as follows.

                  f_{n} = [1 + K_{p}(\frac{V_{S_{2}}}{V_{S_{1}}})]^{-n}

                                  = [1 + 2.7(\frac{100}{10})]^{-3}

                                  = (28)^{-3}

                                  = 4.55 \times 10^{-5}

Hence, weight of compound to be extracted = weight of compound - fraction remaining

                                  = 1 - 4.55 \times 10^{-5}

                                  = 0.00001

or,                               = 1 \times 10^{-5}

Thus, we can conclude that weight of compound that could be extracted is 1 \times 10^{-5}.

Mechanism with a small activation energy or one with large activation energy​
tangare [24]

Answer:

Rate depends on the rate constant. The rate constant depends on temperature and activation energy. If you have lower activation energy the rate will be higher. This is why catalysts are added since catalysts provide an alternate pathway that requires lower activation energy and catalysts are added to increase the rate of reaction.

Explanation:

This is only the answer if you were asking:

"Which corresponds to the faster rate: a mechanism with a small activation energy or one with a large activation energy?"

Thats what I understood about your question.
