Compound A has a partition coefficient (K) of 7 when comparing its solubility in CH2Cl2 to water ( K=11, [solubility of A in g/m

l in CH2Cl2] divided by [solubility of A in g/ml in H2O]). If we take 17.0 g of A and partition it thoroughly between 150 ml of CH2Cl2 and 100 ml of water, what is the equation which will tell us how much of A (which is represented by x) is in the water layer after this partitioning ?

Answer:

The equation which will tell us how much of A that is mis inmthe water layer after partitioning is: 7 = (17 - x) g / 150 mL ÷ x g /100 mL

Explanation:

A partition coefficient is the ratio of the concentration of a substance in one solvent phase to the concentration in a second solvent phase when the two concentrations are at equilibrium. Usually the two phases are an organic phase and an aqueous phase. Thus, the partition coefficient K, of a compound is the ratio of the compound's concentration in the organic layer compared to the aqueous layer.

K = C₁/C₂ at equilibrium

In the compound A given, CH₂Cl₂ is the organic phase while water is the aqueous phase

Amount of A that is partitioned in between dichloromethane, CH₂Cl₂ and water, H₂O is 17.0 g

Let the amount of A that is dissolved in water be x g

Solubility of A in water given in g/mL = (x / 100) g/ml

Amount of A dissolved in dichloromethane, CH₂Cl₂ = (17 - x) g

Solubility of A in dichloromethane, CH₂Cl₂ given in g/mL = (17 - x/150) g/mL

Since the partition coefficient, K of compound A when comparing its solubility in CH₂Cl₂ to water is 7, that is;

K = [solubility of A in g/ml in CH₂Cl₂] / [solubility of A in g/ml in H2O] = 7

The equation for the amount of A in the water layer is given as follows:

7 = (17 - x) g / 150 mL ÷ x g /100 mL

Solving for x

7 = (17 -x) × 100 / 150x

7 × 150x = (17 - x) × 100

1050x = 1700 - 100x

1150x = 1700

x = 1700/1150

x = 1.48 g

How many grams of oxygen are produced when 1.05 moles of hydrogen gas is<br> produced?
vivado [14]

Answer:

1.058337 grams of hydrogen and 2H2 + O2 ==> 2H2O hydrogen peroxide

mols H2 = grams/molar mass

Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols H2 to mols O2.

Now convert mols O2 to grams. That's grams mols O2 x molar mass O2.

and it could also produce H2O water but no air but it could make other things

What metal will have properties most similar to those of chromium (Cr)? Why?
garri49 [273]
That element is manganese. As they are in same horizontal row (period) and are next to each other. That is why they show same properties. 

Hope this helps xox :)

Calculate the hydroxide ion consentration of a solution with pH = 3.25. show all calculations leading to your answer.
lidiya [134]
First you calculate the pOH of the solution:

pH+ pOH = 14

3.25 + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 3.25

pOH = 10.75

<span>Concentration of [OH]</span>⁻<span> in solution:
</span>
[ OH⁻ ] = 10 ^{-pOH}

[ OH⁻ ]  = 10^ - 10.75

[OH⁻] = 1.778 x 10⁻¹¹ M

hope this helps !
