Question
An unknown substance "A" was allowed to partition
between a mixture of 150 mL water and 80 mL
benzene. After titration, you found that 0.75 moles of
"A" was dissolved in the water while 0.60 moles
dissolved in benzene. Calculate for the partition
coefficient of substance "A". What can you infer
about the nature of substance "A" based on the value
of the partition coefficient?
