Question: 9 . 7 3 A mixture containing 3 0 % acetone and 7 0 % chloroform is extracted with a mixer solvent containing acetic acid

9.73 A mixture containing 30% acetone and 70% chloroform is extracted with a mixer solvent containing acetic acid and water. The two immiscible phases - the raffinate andy extract phases - that result after extraction had the following analysis: Extract: acetone 7.5%, chloroform 6.06%, acetic acid 31.88% and water 54.56% Raffinate: acetone 20.0%, chloroform 67.0% acetic acid 10.0% and water 3.0% For the basis of 100kg of the mixture extracted, determine the following:
(a) The composition of the mixed solvent on a weight basis
(b) The quantities of raffinate and extract phases
(c) The amount of mixed solvent used
answers:
(a)40% acid, 60% water
(b)90 kg raffinate,160 kg of extract
(c)150 kg
solve and match with the given coreecrect answers
