The solute in Problem 23-8 is initially dissolved in 80.0 mL of water. It is then extracted

Question:

The solute in Problem 23-8 is initially dissolved in 80.0 mL of water. It is then extracted six times with 10.0-mL portions of chloroform. Find the fraction of solute remaining in the aqueous phase.

Data from Problem 23-8

Solute S has a partition coefficient of 4.0 between water (phase 1) and chloroform (phase 2) in Equation 23-1. 

(a) Calculate the concentration of S in chloroform if [S]aq is 0.020 M.
(b) If the volume of water is 80.0 mL and the volume of chloroform is 10.0 mL, find the quotient (mol S in chloroform)/(mol S in water).
