In a liquid-liquid extraction, 10 kg of a solution containing 2 kg of solute C and 8 kg of solvent A is brought into contact with 10 kg of solvent B. Solvent A and B are completely immiscible in each other whereas solute C is soluble in both the solvents. The extraction process attains equilibrium. The equilibrium relationship between the two phases is Y* = 0.9X, where Y* is the kg of C/kg of B and X is kg of C/kg of A. Choose the correct answer?
A The entire amount of C is transferred to solvent B
B Less than 2 kg but more than 1 kg of C is transferred to solvent B
C Less than 1 kg of C is transferred to B
D No amount of C is transferred to B
Correct Answer: The entire amount of C is transferred to solvent B
Acetone is to be removed from air in an isothermal dilute absorber using pure water as solvent. The incoming air contains 5 mole% of acetone (yin = 0.05).
