Preferred Label : partition constant;
Detailed label : partition constant, KDo;
IUPAC definition : The ratio of activity of a given species A in the extract to its activity in the other
phase with which it is in equilibrium, thus: \[\left(K_{{D}} {{o}}\right)_{{A}}
\frac{a_{{A,org}}}{a_{{A,aq}}}\] Its value should not vary with composition but depends
on the choice of standard states and on the temperature (and eventually the pressure).;
