Can someome help me please? 2. Liquid extraction is an operation used

2. Liquid extraction is an operation used to separate the components of a liquid mixture of two or more species. In the simplest case, a mixture containing a solute (A) in a solvent (B) is contacted with a second solvent (C) that also dissolves (A) but is immiscible with solvent (B). This causes some of solute (A) to transfer from (B) to (C). The two product streams are the depleted solvent (B) (called the raffinate) and the enriched solvent (C) (called the extract). Consider a process where A is acetic acid, B is water, and C is 1-hexanol. A 10.0-kg/min feed solution of 10% acetic acid in water is contacted with a pure stream of 1-hexanol. The raffinate is 1% acetic acid, and the extract is 10% acetic acid in 1-hexanol. 6 (a) Draw and label a flowchart for the extraction process. Number the streams and show known and unknown variables, (6) Prepare a degrees-of-freedom table showing that the problem is properly specified to solve for the unknown variables. (c) Solve for the unknown variables and complete labeling the flowchart with solved variables
