In case of a ternary system involving two liquid components and a solute, the ratio of the concentration of the solute in the two phases at equilibrium is called the distribution co-efficient. The distribution co-efficient depends upon the______________?
Correct answer: C. Both A. & B.
- A. Solute concentration
- B. Temperature
- C. Both A. & B.
- D. Neither A. nor B.
Explanation
The distribution coefficient is affected by temperature and can also vary with solute concentration when activity effects, association, or dissociation become important. Therefore, both listed factors can influence it.
