At a pH of 4, the Cu-neocuproine complex formed in the liquid-liquid extraction experiment has a partition coefficient of about 6.3 when equilibrated between the acid aqueous solution and chloroform. Calculate the concentration of Cu in the chloroform phase if 40.0 mL of a 0.26 M aqueous Cu solution buffered to pH 4 is equilibrated with 16.0 mL of chloroform.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Molecular mass of Copper neocuproine complex = 480 amu.

Mass of cuproin complex present in 40 ml of 0.26M aqueous layer at distribution = 40 x 0.26 x 480 mg = 4.992 g

Given that, K_D = Conc. Of complex in aqueous /Conc. Of complex in CHCl₃ = 6.3

6.3 = 0.26/ x

Conc. Of copper in CHCl₃ = 0.04126 M

In lab we did a liquid-liquid extraction using a separatory funnel - but i don't really understand what was happening ( i just followed directions given) - now my lab report asks me to describe 1. the concept of liquid liquid extraction and how it works 2. Describe how adjusting the pH of the aqueous phase as a means of altering solublity properties of compounds is used in extractions?? can anyone help me understand these two questions above.
