Question

Iodine is sparingly soluble in water but much more so in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)\left(\mathrm{CCl}_4\right). The equilibrium constant, also called the partition coefficient, for the distribution of I2\mathrm{I}_2 between these two phases

I2(aq)I2(CCl4)\mathrm{I}_2(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{I}_2\left(\mathrm{CCl}_4\right)

is 83 at 20C20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. (b) The student now repeats the extraction of I2\mathrm{I}_2 with another 0.030 L0.030 \mathrm{~L} of CCl4\mathrm{CCl}_4. Calculate the fraction of the I2\mathrm{I}_2 from the original solution that remains in the aqueous phase.

1 of 2

The equilibrium constant for the reaction:

I2(aq)I2(CCl4)\mathrm{I_{2(aq)} \rightleftarrows I_{2(CCl_4)}}

is 83 at 20 degrees Celsius.

b)We need to calculate the fraction of the repeated extraction of I2\mathrm{I_2} remaining in the aqueous phase if another 0.030 liters of CCl4\mathrm{CCl_4} were added to 0.200 liters of aqueous solution containing 0.032 grams of I2\mathrm{I_2}
