Nicotine is to be extracted with kerosene from a water solution containing 1% nicotine. Water and kerosene are essentially immiscible. The equilibrium of a solute between immiscible solvents is expressed by the distribution coefficient, K, which is the ratio of the solute concentration in the two phases and for the distribution of nicotine between kerosene and water K = 0.9. Calculate the percent extraction of nicotine if 100 kg of feed solution is extracted once with 150 kg solvent.
