In liquid-liquid extraction, the solution which is to be extracted is called the feed (R1) and the liquid with which the feed is contacted is the solvent (E2). The solvent-rich product is called the extract (E1) and the residual liquid from which the solute has been removed is called the raffinate (R2). E and R are the molar flow rates per unit cross-sectional area of the tower. With point 1 the top of the tower and point 2 the bottom of the tower, give the necessary equations to obtain the height of the tower for counter-current extraction for dilute conditions? You can use x mole fraction for the raffinate and y for the extract. The raffinate is the heavy liquid. Draw a picture of the tower.

I'm sorry, everyone. Chat's malfunctions today are a sign directed at me-- I think the god of the internet realm is trying to tell me that my science exam tomorrow isn't going to study for itself.

I actually hope it stays like this all night. Removes at least one temptation.
"Let's eat, Grandma!" as opposed to "Let's eat Grandma!": punctuation saves lives.
