Question

Calculate the distribution ratio when concentration of solute in organic layer is 0.15 mmol
and concentration of solute in aqueous layaer is 0.025 mmol,​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.16 is the answers for sure

Answer 2

Answer:

The distribution ratio, D, measured is $6$.

Explanation:

Given,

The concentration of solute in the organic layer, $S_{org}$ = $0.15 mmol$

The concentration of solute in the aqueous layer, $S_{aq}$ = $0.025 mmol$

The distribution ratio, D =?

As we know,

• The distribution ratio is the ratio of the concentration of solute in the organic layer to the concentration of solute in the aqueous layer.
• D = $\frac{S_{org} }{S_{aq} }$

After putting the given values in the equation, we get:

• D = $\frac{0.15}{0.025}$ = $6$

Hence, the distribution ratio, D = $6$.
