1. a) What is the difference between distribution coefficient (Ko) and distribution ratio (D)? [4 Marks] b) A 1.3244 g of a compound X with a molar mass of 117.3 g/mol in 40.00 mL of water was extracted using 25.00 mL of toluene. After extraction process, a total of 1.1037 g of the compound X was recovered in the organic phase. i) What is the compound X distribution ratio between water and toluene? [4 Marks] ii) If we extract using 10.00 mL and 50.00 mL of toluene separately, what is the extraction efficiency? [6 Marks] iii) What is the concentration of compound X in each phase after extraction in part 2b(ii). [4 Marks]
