3.4 Two Component Liquid Systems If a substance is soluble in two liquids which are completely immiscible, it will distribute itself between the two liquids in such a way that the ratio of its concentration in the two liquids is constant. The distribution coefficient of the substance between two immiscible liquids is then calculated using the following relationship: Distribution coefficient = Concentration of solute in aqueous layer / Concentration of solute in organic layer For example, ammonia distributes itself between water and isobutyl alcohol until the ratio of concentration of NH3 becomes constant. Distribution coefficient = Concentration of NH3 in aqueous layer / Concentration of NH3 in isobutyl alcohol
