Question: Based on chemical equilibrium, obtain a general expression for dependence of the distribution coefficient of a weak base bioproduct B (2) described by the equilibrium

Based on chemical equilibrium, obtain a general expression for dependence of the distribution coefficient of a weak base bioproduct B(2) described by the equilibrium expression in Exercise 8.43 that interacts with an organic solvent extractant X(1) at the interface of an organic (1) Aqueous (2) System with valence z.


Data From Exercise 8.43
