In a pair of immiscible liquid, a common solute dissolves in both and the equilibrium is reached. Then, the concentration of the solute in upper layer is
A. in fixed ratio with that in the lower layer
B. same as the lower layer
C. lower than the lower layer
D. higher than the lower layer
A. in fixed ratio with that in the lower layer
B. same as the lower layer
C. lower than the lower layer
D. higher than the lower layer
Correct Answer – A
According to Nernst distribution law when we mixed a common solute in a pair of immiscible liquids, then the ratio of amount of solute in both liquids is fixed temperature.
