Define the term 'Partition Constant'.
Think about how chemicals behave in different states.
What does 'Aqueous Solubility' refer to?
Consider how much of a chemical can saturate water.
What is the role of the partition constant (K)?
Focus on the definition.
True or False: Aqueous solubility can be exceeded in a sample of water.
Recall what solubility means.
You have a soil-water system with 200 kg of a contaminant and Koc of 5. Calculate the distribution if aqueous solubility is limited to 20 mg/L.
Use the partitioning formula and given values to set the equilibria.
Design a remediation strategy for a site with complex contaminants. How does the knowledge of Koc, solubility, and moisture content influence your approach?
Consider both phases and the behaviors of different chemical types.
