Question: The distribution coefficient of styrene distributed between ethylbenzene and ethylene glycol at 25C is 0.19mass fraction in the ethylene glycol phase per mass fraction in

The distribution coefficient of styrene distributed between ethylbenzene and ethylene glycol at 25°C is 0.19mass fraction in the ethylene glycol phase per mass fraction in the ethylbenzene phase. One hundred grams of pure ethylene glycol is added to 120 g of a mixture containing 75 wt% ethylbenzene and 25% styrene, and the resulting blend is allowed to equilibrate. How much styrene transfers to the ethylene glycol phase, assuming that ethylene glycol and ethylbenzene are immiscible?
