Distribution coefficient of an organic a...

Distribution coefficient of an organic acid between water and benzene is 4.1 in favour of `C_(6)H_(6)`. If 5g of acid is distributed in between 50mL of benzeen and `100mL` of water, calculate the concentration of acid in two solvents.

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the concentration of an organic acid in two solvents (benzene and water) based on the distribution coefficient provided. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Distribution Coefficient The distribution coefficient (K) is given as 4.1, which means: \[ K = \frac{C_{C_6H_6}}{C_{H_2O}} = 4.1 \] where \( C_{C_6H_6} \) is the concentration of the acid in benzene and \( C_{H_2O} \) is the concentration of the acid in water. ### Step 2: Define Variables ...
