Octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow) definition
Octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow) means the ratio of the concentration of a substance in the n-octanol phase to its concentration in the aqueous phase in an equilibrated 2-phase octanol-water system. For log Kow, the log of the octanol-water partition coefficient is a base 10 logarithm.
Examples of Octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow) in a sentence
