Extracted text: B) 100kg of a solution of acetic acid and H2O containing 30% acetic acid by weight is to be extracted three times with isopropyl ether using 40kg of isopropyl ether in cach stage. Determine the weight of acetic acid extracted and the percentage recovery of acetic acid. The following data are available. Concentrations of acetic acid in the leaving streams are Isopropyl ether rich phase H2O rich phase 25.8% Ist Stage 11.7% IInd Stage 9.5% 22.7% IIIrd Stage 7.8% 20% BALU, K.; RAMALINGAM, S.; DEEBIKA, B.
