Answer:
A. 2.44g
B. Kd = 3.2
Explanation:
Concentration of benzoic acid = 50mL = 0.05L
Molecular weight = 122 g/mol
Moles of benzoic acid before the extraction = mass/molecular weight of Benzoic acid
= molar concentration * volume
Moles of benzoic acid before the extraction = 0.05 * 0.4
= 0.02moles of benzoic acid before extraction.
Mass of benzoic acid = 0.02 * 122
= 2.44 g
Partition coefficient, Kd is defined as the ratio of concentration of a substance in an organic medium to the concentration of the substance in the aqueous medium.
Since 1.22g of Benzoic acid was in Dicholoroethane, therefore (2.44 - 1.22)g of benzoic acid was in water.
Mass concentration of benzoic acid in water = mass of benzoic in water/volume of water
= 1.22/0.05
= 24.4 g/L
Mass concentration of benzoic acid in Dicholoroethane = mass of benzoic in Dicholoroethane/volume of Dicholoroethane
= 1.22/0.03
= 40.67g/L
Kd = [concentration]organic/[concentration]aqueous
= 40.66/24.4
= 1.67

Elements of the same group show similar chemical properties as they have the same number of valence electrons. Sulfur belongs to the group 16 or 6 A or the oxygen family with 6 valence electrons. The elements of group 6 A are Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium and Polonium. All of these elements show similar chemical properties. Therefore, when a biochemist studying the properties a sulfur containing biochemical compounds in the body wants to look at any other non-metal with similar properties, he has to consider other elements of the group 6 A like Oxygen (O), Selenium (Se), Tellurium (Te) and Polonium (Po).
