Iodine is found naturally in compounds in many different oxidation states.
Iodide ions, , react with acidified to form iodine, , and water. This reaction mixture is shaken with cyclohexane, , to extract the . Cyclohexane is immiscible with water.
of is shaken with of an aqueous solution containing until no further change is seen.
It is found that 0.390 g of is extracted into the .
The partition coefficient of between and water, , is 93.8.
Calculate the mass of that remains in the aqueous layer.
Show your working.
mass of in aqueous layer =
Suggest how the value of of between hexan-2-one, , and water compares to the value given in (a)(ii). Explain your answer.
