Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Partition coefficient, K = 6.2
Volume of phase 1, = 74.0 mL
Volume of phase 2, = 17.0 mL
So, after one extraction fraction of solute remaining is given as follows.
q =
After 3 times extraction, fraction of S remaining is as follows.
q =
Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
q =
=
=
= 0.0699
Thus, we can conclude that the fraction of S remaining in the aqueous phase is 0.0699.
