Question: Mutual solubility data for the isooctane (1)/furfural (2) system at 25?C are [Chem. Eng. Sci., 6, 116 (1957)] Compute: (a) The distribution coefficients for isooctane

Mutual solubility data for the isooctane (1)/furfural (2) system at 25?C are [Chem. Eng. Sci., 6, 116 (1957)]

Liquid Phase 1 0.0431 Liquid Phase II 0.9461

Compute:

(a) The distribution coefficients for isooctane and furfural

(b) The relative selectivity for isooctane relative to furfural

(c) The activity coefficient of isooctane in liquid phase 1 and the activity coefficient of furfural in liquid phase 2 assuming ?2(1)) = 1.0 and ?1(1) = 1.0.

Liquid Phase 1 0.0431 Liquid Phase II 0.9461
