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

Determine the percent ionization of a 0.225 M solution of benzoic acid. Express your answer using two significant figures.
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

1.68% is ionized

Explanation:

The Ka of benzoic acid, C₇H₆O₂, is 6.46x10⁻⁵, the equilibrium in water of this acid is:

C₇H₆O₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₇H₅O₂⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

Ka = 6.46x10⁻⁵ = [C₇H₅O₂⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [C₇H₆O₂]

<em>Where [] are concentrations in equilibrium</em>

In equilibrium, some 0.225M of the acid will react producing both C₇H₅O₂⁻ and H₃O⁺, the equilibrium concentrations are:

[C₇H₆O₂] = 0.225-X

[C₇H₅O₂⁻] = X

[H₃O⁺] = X

Replacing:

6.46x10⁻⁵ = [X] [X] / [0.225-X]

1.4535x10⁻⁵ - 6.46x10⁻⁵X = X²

1.4535x10⁻⁵ - 6.46x10⁻⁵X - X² = 0

Solving for X:

X = -0.0038. False solution, there is no negative concentrations.

X = 0.00378M. Right solution.

That means percent ionization (100 times Amount of benzoic acid ionized  over the initial concentration of the acid) is:

0.00378M / 0.225M * 100 =

<h3>1.68% is ionized</h3>

MAXImum [283]

Answer:0.20L

Explanation:

Data

P1 =0.524atm

V1=2L

P2=5.15atm

V2=?

Apply Boyle' law

P1V1 =P2V2

P2 =P1V1/P2

= 0.524x 2 /5.15

= 0.20 L
