Answer:
Distribution coefficient: 4.79
Explanation:
Distribution coefficient is the ratio between equilibrium concentration of non-aqueous phase and aqueous phase where both solvents are inmiscible. The equation for the problem is:
Distribution coefficient: Concentration in chloroform / Concentration in Water
<em>Concentration in water: 2.59mg / 30mL = 0.08633mg/mL</em>
<em>Concentration in chloroform: (15mg-2.59mg) / 30mL = 0.4137mg/mL</em>
<em />
Distribution coefficient: 0.4137mg/mL / 0.08633mg/mL
<h3>Distribution coefficient: 4.79</h3>
