(ii) The partition coeffi cient of a particular pesticide between hexane and water is 6.0.
A solution contains 0.0042 g of the pesticide dissolved in 25 cm3 of water. The solution is
shaken with 25 cm3 of hexane.
Calculate the mass of pesticide that will be dissolved in the hexane layer at equilibrium
Ans is 0.0036g

Use Le Chatelier's Principle for this question.

Le Chatelier's Principle dictates the equilibrium position to shift to one side (product or reactant), in order to counter any effect from changes in state (temperature, pressure, etc.).
In this case, the "state" that has changes is the pressure, which decreases.
Therefore, the equilibrium position needs to go in a direction that tends to raise the pressure back up. So which direction will it go?

Looking at the equation, we can see that 2 mol of reactant turns into 1 mol of product - there is a general decrease in molar amount along the reaction.
This means the forward reaction acts to lower the system's pressure, thus the backward raises it up.

Therefore, the equilibrium position shall shift towards the reactant side, and will make the mixture even more dark brown.
However, the initial state is already dark brown, so there is no visible change.
