A solvent-extraction process usingN,N − diethyldodecanamide, which is insoluble in water and has a density of 0.847 g / cm3 . In a typical experiment at 30°C, 50 g of 20 wt % citric acid and 80 wt % water was contacted with 0.85 g of amide. The resulting organic phase, assumed to be in equilibrium with the aqueous phase, contained 6.39 wt % citric acid and 2.97 wt % water. Determine the partition (distribution) coefficients for citric acid and water
