Background Information
If a solute is soluble in two different solvents, it usually has different solubilities in each of them. If
the two solvents are immiscible and the solute is added to them, it will distribute itself between the two
solvents according to its respective solubilities. An equilibrium is then set up between the
solute particles in one solvent and the solute particles in another solvent. The ratio of
the concentrations of the solute in the two solvents is called partition coefficient or distribution

3. Measure 40.0 cm3 of dichloromethane using a measuring cylinder. Pour it into the
separating funnel.
4. Place a stopper on the funnel and shake vigorously for 2 minutes. Open the tap
occasionally to release the pressure in the funnel.
5. Suspend the separating funnel on a retort stand. Leave it to stand for several minutes
until its contents separate into 2 clear and steady layers.
