 A stream containing propionic acid and water at 70:30 mass ratio

A stream containing propionic acid and water at 70:30 mass ratio is fed to a mixer at 1.445 kg/s with pure cyclohexane as solvent. What should be the flow rate of the solvent in order to attain 30:70 mass ratio of solute and solvent in the extract (solvent-rich) stream? Prepare graphical and computational solution.
