You perform a single extraction with 100 ml of chloroform to remove compound a from 100 ml of an aqueous solution. the partition coefficient for compound a is 2.5. how much material remains in the aqueous solution after the extraction if you started with 5 g of compound a? give your answer as a percent.

Percentage of mass of solute in aqueous phase is 28.57%.

Explanation:

- Fraction of solute in aqueous phase.

= Used volume of aqueous solution

= Used volume of organic solution

D = partition coefficient.

Mass of solute in aqueous phase =

Therefore, Percentage of mass of solute in aqueous phase is 28.57%.

answer is a

explanation:
