Distribution Ratio Formula Elements

Variables
Actual Distribution Ratio
The Actual Distribution Ratio is the concentration of a component in two different phases of solvent.
Symbol: Dactual
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Concentration in Organic Phase
The Concentration in Organic Phase is the total concentration of solute dissolved in the solvent in the organic phase.
Symbol: Co
Measurement: Molar ConcentrationUnit: mol/L
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Concentration in Aqueous Phase
The Concentration in Aqueous Phase is the total concentration of solute dissolved in the solvent present in the aqueous phase.
Symbol: Caq
Measurement: Molar ConcentrationUnit: mol/L
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Distribution Ratio?

Distribution Ratio evaluator uses Actual Distribution Ratio = (Concentration in Organic Phase/Concentration in Aqueous Phase) to evaluate the Actual Distribution Ratio, The Distribution ratio formula is defined as the ratio of the total concentration of solute in the same solvent but the phases of the solvent are different. Actual Distribution Ratio is denoted by Dactual symbol.
