assume an organic compound has a partition coefficient between water and ether equal to 9.26. if there are initially 8.49g of the compound dissolved in 100ml

Step 1
The partition coefficient (K) is defined as the ratio of the concentration of a compound in one solvent to its concentration in another solvent at equilibrium. In this case, K = [Compound in Ether] / [Compound in Water] = 9.26. Show more…

Assume an organic compound has a partition coefficient between water and ether equal to 8.19. If there are initially 9.60 g of the compound dissolved in 75.0 mL of water, how many grams will remain in the aqueous layer after extraction with one 30.0 mL portion of ether?

Assume an organic compound has a partition coefficient between water and ether equal to 7.80. If there are initially 7.19 grams of the compound dissolved in 75.0 mL of water, how many grams will remain in the aqueous layer after extraction with one 15.0 mL portion of ether?
Suppose a compound has a partition coefficient (PC) of 10 in an ether/water mixture (as written, this implies diethyl ether is the 'better' solvent). If 19 g of the compound were taken up in a mixture of 100 mL diethyl ether and 100 mL water, how many grams of the compound would partition into the diethyl ether layer? Enter your answer to one decimal point (don't include units when entering your answer as they are understood to be grams in this case).
