In this method the different volumes of a stock solution (n-octanol pre saturated with water) were shaken with different volume of water pre saturated with n-octanol. After centrifugation, both the aqueous phase and octanol phase were analysed by HPLC. The partition coefficient were calculated, from the measured concentration of test chemical in the organic and aqueous phases. The log Pow value was determined to be -1.606 ± 0.301 at 25 oC temperature. By considering this log Pow value it can be concluded that test chemical Tetrylammonium bromide is hydrophilic in nature and it is also supported by high water solubility of test chemical in water.
