A 78 mg sample of an organic compound (molar mass = 84.0 g/mol) is partitioned between 2.00 mL of water and 2.00 mL of methylene chloride. Separation and processing of the organic phase results in the isolation of 56 mg of the organic compound. Calculate the partition coefficient for the compound between methylene chloride and water (Kpmethylene chloride/water). Your answer should reflect the proper number of significant figures.
