Explanation / Answer
3.(a)
Kd = Solubility of adipic acid in water / Solubility of adipic acid in ether = [adipic acid]water / [adipic acid]ether
Now,
[adipic acid]water = mass of adipic acid in water / Volume of water = 1.5 g / 100 mL
[adipic acid]ether = mass of adipic acid in ether / volume of ether = 0.6 g /100 mL
So,
Kd = [adipic acid]water / [adipic acid]ether = 1.5 / 0.6 = 2.5
(b)
x = mass of adipic acid in water
y = mass of adipic acid in ether
Kd = [adipic acid]water / [adipic acid]ether
2.5 = (x / 50) / ( y / 30)
2.5 = (x/y) * 30/50
x/y = 2.5 * 5 / 3 = 4.17
So,
fraction of adipic acid that can be extracted from 50 mL solution of adipic acid in water into 30 mL portion of ether = 4.17
