Homework Statement
what is the weight percent concentration of SO2 in the exsolved aqueous fluid phase that existed with solution if sulphur has ppm by weight of 90. partition coefficient= 47
Homework Equations
partition coefficient- 47= concentration of aqueous fluid/ concentration of solution
The Attempt at a Solution
weight % of sulphur= 32/32+2(16)= 0.5
weight % of oxygen= 0.5
90 ppmw sulphur, since there is 1 mole of sulphur and 2 of oxygen there is 180 ppmw oxygen. for a total of 270 ppmw SO2.
47= 270ppmw/x
x= 270/47
x= 5.74
im not really sure if this is correct, if it isn't could someone point me in the right direction?
