The solubility of SImpsonium in toluene is 7.50g/100 mL and its solubility in water is 30.0 g/mL. Estimate the distribution coefficient of Simpsonium between toluene and water.
The options are
A. 0.250
B. 22.5
C. 37.5
D. 225
I do not understand how to set this equation up or where to get the numbers from, so please show all steps. Thank you.
distribution coefficient (Kd) = ( concentration in toulene / concentration in water)
= 7.5/30
= 0.25
answer: A
