Question: Q . 6 A 1 0 0 0 k g of pyridine - water solution containing 5 9 % pyridine is to be extracted with

Q.6 A 1000kg of pyridine -water solution containing 59% pyridine is to be extracted with equal amount of pure chlorobenzene. The raffinate from the first extraction is to be extracted with a weight of solvent equal to raffinate weight and so on (S2=R1,S3=R2).
(a)What is the exit concentration and percentage recovery of pyridine after three stages?
(b) if all the solvent is used in single stage what is the percentage recovery and exit concentration.
The equilibrium data and tie line data is as given below.
