3. Using a liquid-liquid extraction, it is desired to separate ethanol from a two-phase mixture of benzene with ethanol at P% mass and a flow rate of 5000 Kg/h, for this a stream of pure water is used. Determine the amount of water that must be fed so that the ethanol in the water-rich phase is Q% and R% in the benzene-rich phase.a) P =25% Q =10%R=5%b) P =30%q =20%R =4%c) P =35%Q =30%R =3%d) P =40%Q =35%R =2%e) P =45%Q =40%R =1%
