Triiodide Ion Formation

The document discusses distribution constants and triiodide ion equilibriums. It defines the distribution constant KD as the ratio of amounts of iodine in the dichloromethane and aqueous layers. KD is constant at a given temperature, pressure, and composition. The document also defines the equilibrium constant expression for the formation of triiodide ions from iodide ions and iodine in aqueous solution. It provides experimental values for KD and the triiodide equilibrium constant K that are consistent with literature values.
