The formula to calculate Partition Coefficient (K) is:
\[ K = \frac{c_{s}}{c_{m}} \]
Where:
The Partition Coefficient is defined as the ratio of the equilibrium concentrations of a dissolved substance in a two-phase system consisting of two largely immiscible solvents.
The concentration of Solute in the Stationary Phase is the amount of solute and particles that are dissolved in a solution in the stationary phase.
The concentration of Solute in the Mobile Phase is the amount of solute and particles that are dissolved in a solution in the mobile phase.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ K = \frac{c_{s}}{c_{m}} \]
Evaluating:
\[ K = \frac{87}{80} \]
The Partition Coefficient is 1.0875.
