Abstract
The relationships drawn by Bethune and Kegeles to allow predictions of the countercurrent distribution patterns of chemically reacting systems from assigned values of equilibrium constants have been usefully inverted for a model system involving a weak complex. From experimental countercurrent distribution patterns for the system mercuric chloride, mercuric bromide, mercuric chlorobromide, accurate values for the formation constant for the chlorobromide have been obtained in water and benzene. The formation constant is in agreement with the results of Delwaulle and Francois from Raman spectroscopy. It is hoped that this example may stimulate the application of the countercurrent distribution method to the study of weak complexes of biochemical origin.
