A solute distributes itself between two non-miscible solvents in contact with each other in such a way that, at a constant temperature, the ratio of its concentrations in two layers is constant, irrespective of its total amount". This is_________________?
Correct answer: A. The distribution law
- A. The distribution law
- B. Followed from Margules equation
- C. A corollary of Henry's law
- D. None of these
Explanation
The distribution law states that a solute at equilibrium has a constant concentration ratio between two immiscible solvents at fixed temperature, provided the solute remains in the same molecular form. It is also called the partition law, not a consequence of the Margules equation.
