Question

During an extraction, a solute (S) will partition itself between the two solvent phases with a Partition Coefficient (K) defined as: K= C2/C1, where C1 and C2 are the concentrations at equilibrium, in grams per liter of the soulte (S) in solvent 1 and in solvent 2, respectively. Solute (S) is found to have a partition coefficent of 15. Supposed 5g of (S) is dissolved in 150 mL of solvent 1 and the solution is extracted with 50 mL of solvent 2. How much S remains in solvent 1?

What Property must a compound posses in order to qualify for a "steam distiallation" o-Nitrophenol can be seperated from a mixure of it and p-nitrophenol becuase the former compund is 'stem volatile' while the latter compound is not. Why is the o-compound steam volatile? (HINT: It has to do with intramolecular hydrogen bonding)
