13. For a solvent selection, if the desired separation factor between two solutes is at least 4 and a potential solvent has a separation factor of 5, does the solvent meet the criteria?
14. In a counter-current extraction column, if the mass flow rate of the solvent is twice the mass flow rate of the feed, what is the ratio of solvent to feed flow rates?
15. If the efficiency of an extraction column is 75% and it processes 400 grams of feed containing a target compound, how much of the compound is extracted?
16. A ternary phase diagram indicates that the solubility of solute X in a solvent mixture is 20% by weight. If you have 500 grams of the mixture, how much solute X can it dissolve?
