1. If a solvent has a selectivity of 2.5 for solute A over solute B and the concentration of solute A in the feed is 100 g/L, what is the expected concentration of solute A in the solvent phase?
2. In a ternary phase diagram for a system containing components X, Y, and Z, if the mass fractions of X and Y in a mixture are 40% and 35% respectively, what is the mass fraction of Z?
3. A counter-current extraction process recovers 80% of the solute in the first stage and 50% of the remaining solute in the second stage. If the initial solute amount is 200 grams, how much solute remains after the second stage?
4. During a single-stage extraction, 120 mL of solvent is used to extract a solute from 240 mL of an aqueous solution. What is the volume ratio of solvent to aqueous solution?
