Concept

This document describes an experiment involving the partitioning of iodine between water and carbon tetrachloride layers in a separatory funnel. Iodine preferentially partitions into the carbon tetrachloride layer. The system reaches equilibrium, with the equilibrium constant favoring iodine in the carbon tetrachloride phase. If the concentrations change from equilibrium values, iodine will shift between the layers to re-establish equilibrium. Doubling the volumes of each layer will not change the distribution at equilibrium. The iodine will partition the same way if the initial layers are reversed. Adding potassium iodide to the water layer will shift iodine into the carbon tetrachloride layer to form an iodide complex in water

60. (Equi libr ium, polarity) Demonstration: A solut ion of iodine dissolved in water is placed in a separatory funnel.

An equal volume of CCl4 is to be added to the funnel. Based on polarity,most of the iodine will prefer to stay in the water layer , most of the iodine will prefer to transfer into the CCl4 layer Add the CCl4 in such a way as to minimize mixing. Is the system at equi l ibr ium? yes, no Shake several times to show that color changes eventually cease. The equi l ibr ium constant K for the react ion I 2 (in water) <==> I2 ( i n C C l4) has a value of ~100 near room temperature. If at some time the concentration of I is 1.0 mM, what wi l l happen?
2

in water is 0.1 mM and of I2 i n C C l4

no net movement of I2 between solvents, I2 in water will move into CCl4 ,I i n C C l4 w i l l mo v e i n t o w a t e r

Once equi l ibr ium for this par t i t ioning exper iment has been establ ished, the amount of each solvent is to be doubled. What will then happen? no net movement of I2 between solvents, I2 i n w a t e r w i l l m o v e i n t o hexane, I2 i n hexane wi l l move into water .

Repeat the ini t ial exper iment in the reverse order : a solut ion of CCl4 having the same to t a l I2 concentration is placed in a separatory funnel and an equal volume of water is to be added to i t . Wi l l the I2 p a r t i t i o n i t s e l f i n t h e s ame wa y a f t e r shaking? (Compare the two separatory funnel color dist r ibut ions) yes, no

I n w a t e r , I2 can combine wi th I ion to form a complex, I3, w i t h a r e l a t i v e l ylarge equilibrium constant of ~1000 M- 1. Demonstration: If KI is added to the wa t e r l a y e r c o n t a i n i n g I2 that had come to equi l ibr ium wi th a layer of I2 i n C C l4 , w h a t w i l l h a p p e n ?

no net movement of I2 between solvents, I2 i n w a t e r w i l l m o v e i n t o C C l4 , I2 in CCl4 will move into water
