Question

A student decided to perform liquid-liquid extraction of solute A and solute B separately. Based on the table below, indicate which of the following options is CORRECT about their partition coefficient (K)? Solute A Solute B Concentration of solute in extract (g/L) 50 1 Concentration of solute in raffinate (g/L) 1 50 Solute A Solute B Concentration of solute in extract (g/L) 50 1 Concentration of solute in raffinate (g/L)

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

K A =K B K A > K B Correct K A < K B K cannot be determined with the given information

Explanation

quantitative reasoning analysis shows ratio, percentage and series logic determine correct calculation. Consequently K A > K B emerges as the valid choice since it meets mathematical and logical criteria, aligning with established principles in aptitude and reasoning literature.
