A 5.00g of X, the product of organic synthesis is obtained in a 1.0 dm3 aqueous solution. Calculate the mass of X that can be extracted from the aqueous solution by a 50cm3 of ethoxy ethane. (KD (X) =40.

mass of X extracted from the aqueous solution by 50 cm³ of ethoxy ethane = 3.33 g

Explanation:

The partition coefficient of X between ethoxy ethane (ether) and water, K is given by the formula

K = concentration of X in ether/concentration of X in water

Partition coefficient, K(X) between ethoxy ethane and water = 40

Concentration of X in ether = mass(g)/volume(dm³)

Mass of X in ether = m g

Volume of ether = 50/1000 dm³ = 0.05 dm³

Concentration of X in ether = (m/0.05) g/dm³

Concentration of X in water = mass(g)/volume(dm³)

Mass of X in water left after extraction with ether = (5 - m) g

Volume of water = 1 dm³

Concentration of X in water = (5 - m/1) g/dm³

Using K = concentration of X in ether/concentration of X in water;

40 = (m/0.05)/(5 - m)

(m/0.05) = 40 × (5 - m)

(m/0.05) = 200 - 40m

m = 0.05 × (200 - 40m)

m = 10 - 2m

3m = 10

m = 10/3

m = 3.33 g of X

Therefore, mass of X extracted from the aqueous solution by 50 cm³ of ethoxy ethane = 3.33 g

indicate valleys, hills, steepness and gentleness of slopes.

explanation:

contour lines on a map indicate elevation, or depth. numeric notations on contour lines refer to the level of elevation, or height about sea level.
