Questions in the student notes are designed to enable all students to complete the activity.
The pop-up answers are provided for the students to view when they have considered their
responses. Worksheet questions include questions that require recall, understanding and
application of the new concepts learned.
1.1 a. The Partition law states that a solute, X will distribute itself between two
immiscible solvents in such a way that at equilibrium, the ratio of its
concentration in the two solvents is a constant, at a fixed temperature.
b. The value of the partition coefficient will change when the temperature is
changed.

2.1 a. It can dissolve organic compounds well (it has a large partition coefficient).
It does not react with most organic compounds.
