Questions and Problems

1. At 20 °C SO2 was permitted to distribute itself between 200 cc of CHCl3 and 75

cc of H2O. When equilibrium was established, the CHCl3 contained 0.14 moles of SO2

and the H2O layer 0.05 moles. What is the distribution coefficient of SO2 between H2O

and CHCl3 at 20 °C?

GIVEN: REQUIRED : Kc between H2O & CHCl3

VCHCl3 = 200 cc = 0.2 L

VH2O = 75 cc = 0.075 L

nCHCL3 = 0.14 moles

nH20 = 0.05 moles

SOLUTION:

In Kc = n In NH2O – In NCHCl3

n= average MW in H2O layer/ average MW in CHCl3 layer

average MW in H2O layer= YSO2(MWSO2) + YH2O(MW H2O)

2. A) Show the following data for the distribution of benzoic acid between water

and benzene at 20 °C obey quite well the relation C H2O/C C6H6 = K.

C H2O C C6H6

0.0150 0.242

0.0195 0.412

0.0289 0.970

a) k = 0.0150/0/242 = 0.0620

b) k= 0.0195/0.412 = 0.0473

c) k= 0.0289/0.970 = 0.0298

B) Show that the following relation can be obtained on the assumptions: (1) that

the dissociation of benzoic acid in water is slight and (2) that the acid is partially

completely associated into double molecules in C6H6.

k= H2O/C6H6 k= C6H6/H2O

a) k = 0.0150/0/242 = 0.0620 a) k = 0.242/0.0150 = 16.1333

b) k= 0.0195/0.412 = 0.0473 b) k= 0.412/0.0195 = 21.1282

c) k= 0.0289/0.970 = 0.0298 c) k= 0.970/0.0289 = 33.5640

Therefore if benzoic acid is the extracting solvent meaning the value of k is greater

than the value of k if water is the extracting solvent.

3. At 25 °C the distribution coefficient of H2S between H2O and C6H6, defined as

[H2S]H2O/[H2S]C6H6 is 0.167. What is the minimum volume of C6H6 at 25 °C necessary

to extract in a single step 90% of the H2S from 1 liter of 0.1 molar aqueous solution of

H2S?

GIVEN : REQUIRED: VC6H6

k= 0.167

VH2S = 1 L

W = 0.1 molar

W-Wn = 90% (0.1 ) = 0.09 molar

n=1

SOLUTION:

W- Wn = W (KVH2O / KVH2O + VC6H6 )n

0.09 mol/L = 0.1 mol/L ( 0.167*1 L / 0.167*1 + VC6H6 ) 1

VC6H6 = 0.0186 L

25
4. Use the data of the preceding problem to find what total volume of C6H6 would

be necessary to remove 90% of the H2S from the given aqueous solution in three

separate extractions using equal volumes of C6H6 in each.

GIVEN : REQUIRED: VC6H6

k= 0.167

VH2S = 1 L

W = 0.1 molar

W-Wn = 90% (0.1 ) = 0.09 molar

n=3

SOLUTION:

W- Wn = W (KVH2O / KVH2O + VC6H6 )n

0.09 mol/L = 0.1 mol/L ( 0.167*1 L / 0.167*1 + VC6H6 ) 3

VC6H6 = 5.9693 x 10 3 L

Therefore for every single step 1.9898 x 10 -3 L of C6H6 is required.

5. At 25°C the distribution coefficient of C2H5OH between CCl4 and H2O k =

[C2H5OH]CCl4/[C2H5OH]H2O is 0.0244. How will 1 g of C2H5OH distribute itself

between 20 cc of H2O and 50 cc of CCl4?

GIVEN: REQUIRED: Wn (amount of unextracted)

W= 1g

k= 0.0244

V1 = 20 cc

V2= 50 cc

n=1

SOLUTION:

W- Wn = W (KVH2O / KVH2O + VC6H6 )n

1g - Wn = 1 g ( 0.0244*20 cc / 0.0244 *20 cc+ 50 cc)1

Wn = 0.9903 g

Therefore, 0.9903g of the solute will go to water and the remaining 0.0097g will go

to the carbon tetrachloride.
