Question: Component A in a feed mixture containing 60%B and 40%A by mass is extracted with pure solvent C in a countercurrent extraction system. The feed/solvent

 Component A in a feed mixture containing 60%B and 40%A by
mass is extracted with pure solvent C in a countercurrent extraction system.

Component A in a feed mixture containing 60%B and 40%A by mass is extracted with pure solvent C in a countercurrent extraction system. The feed/solvent ratio for this system is set to 3 . Determine the theoretical number of shelves required to obtain 10% by mass of component A in raffinate as a result of extraction.
