Suppose we have two different water-benzene-acetic acid solutions, one with 40% water, 50% benzene and 10% acetic acid, the other with 52% water, 42% benzene and 6% acid.

(a) An experiment we want to conduct requires a solution with 43% water, 48% benzene and 9% acid. Representing each acid solution as a vector, determine if we can we make this new acid solution by mixing the first two solutions, or do we have to run to the chemical solutions market to get the solution we want?

(b) Using the water-benzene-acetic acid solutions in the previous problem, can we obtain an acid solution which contains 50% water, 43% benzene and 7% acid? (c)

Determine the relationship between the percentages of water, benzene, and acid in solutions which can be obtained by

mixing the two given water-benzene-acetic acid solutions above.

Hi, Could you please help me to solve the question. Also, could you please answer questions in clear hand-writing and show me the full process, thank you (Sometimes I get the answer which was difficult to read).Thanks a lot.

Acetic acid is to be extracted from benzene into water at 25C. 100 kg/h of a feed that is 0.0092 wt. fraction acetic acid and 0.9908 wt. fraction benzene is fed to a column. The inlet water is pure and flows at 25 kg/h. The desired outlet weight fraction is 0.00040 acetic acid in benzene. Assume total flow rates are constant, water and benzene are completely immiscible, eqilibrium is linear. K=y/x = wt. fraction solute in extract/wt. fraction solute in...

Consider the following data concerning an acetic acid/benzene mixture at 50 a C. The vapor pressure of pure benzene is 35.62 kPa at this temperature while pure acetic acid has a vapor pressure of 7.34 kPa. A 0.2973 mole fraction acetic acid solution is in equilibrium with a vapor that has a partial pressure of 28.16 kPa for benzene and 3.31 kPa for acetic acid. What are the Raoult's law activity coefficients for solute and solvent in this system? Is...
