5. The fresh organic solvent hexane is used to extract 20% oil, 30% water and 50% insoluble matter from Lemon peels. Hexane and water are presumed to be immiscible. 90% of the oil is recovered in the solution (extract), which has a mass of 50% oil. The overall mass of the raffinate, including the oil that has still to be removed (unextracted), is 55 kg. Find a. mass of orange peel that was processed (kg) b. mass of fresh hexane used (kg) C. concentration of oil in the raffinate stream (mass percent)
