partition of o-xylene among phases
Not what you're looking for?
Im confused on how to set this problem up while incorporating the water, octanol, and air in one equation so I can solve for the mass. Help is much appreciated! thank you
A stoppered flask at 25 C contains 250 mL water, 200 mL octanol, and 50 mL of air. An unknown mass of o-xylene is added to the
flask and allowed to partition among the phases. After equilibrium has been established, 5.0 mg of o-xylene are measured in the water.
What is the total mass (g) of o-xylene present in the flask?
