Question
suppose 10.0 mL of the solution in the previous question was extracted with 10 mL of methylene chloride. After extraction, the aqueous layer gave an absorbance of 0.37. Using the graph above, A) estimate the concentration of I2 in the aqueous layer, B) then calculate the concentration of I2 in the methylene chloride layer, then C) calculate the Kd.
Explanation / Answer
a ) From the graph , concentration of I2 in aqueous layer = 8.80952*10-4 M
b) concentration of solute before extraction in aqueous layer is equal to sum of the concentrations of solute
in aqueous and organic layers after extraction.
Saq ( before extraction) = Saq(after extraction) + Sorg (after extraction)
0.002 mol/lit = 8.80952*10-4 mol/lit + Sorg
Sorg = 1.11904 * 10-3 mol/lit or M
Therefore concentration of I2 in methylene chloride layer = 1.11904 * 10-3 M
c) Kd = [I2]organic / [I2]aqueous = 1.11904 * 10-3 / 8.80952*10-4 M = 1.27026
