Q5 Using a ternary diagram of acetic acid-water-isopropyl ether system (provided in Appendix)to consider a 150 mol/h mixture with 20 mol% acetic acid and 80 mol% water is contactedwith isopropyl ether at 20°C. 100 mol/h of pure isopropyl ether produced a raffinate with 4mol% acetic acid. Solve the following problems.(a) Components' composition and amount of extract and raffinate.(b) Amount of extract and raffinate using level-arm rule.(16 marks)(4 marks)END OF QUESTION

SOLVED:In the gas phase, acetic acid exists as an equilibrium of monomer and dimer molecules. (The dimer consists of two molecules linked through hydrogen bonds.) (FIGURE CANNOT COPY) The equilibrium constant, K, at 25^∘ C for the monomer-dimer equilibrium 2 CH3 CO2 H ⇄(CH3 CO2 H)2 has been determined to be 3.2 ×10^4 . Assume that acetic acid is present initially at a concentration of 5.4 ×10^-4 mol/Lat 25^∘ C and that no dimer is present initially.(a) What percentage of the acetic acid is conve
