Figure 3.2 Plot of log K AW vs. log K OW for the chemicals in Table 3.5 on which dotted lines of<br />

constant K OA line on the 45° diagonal. This graph shows the wide variation in<br />

properties. Volatile compounds tend to lie to the upper left, water-soluble compounds<br />

to the lower left, and hydrophobic compounds to the lower right. The thicker<br />

lines represent constant percentages present at equilibrium in air, water, and<br />

octanol phases, assuming a volume ratio of 656,000:1300:1, respectively. Modified<br />

from Gouin et al. (2000).<br />
