A mixture of phenol and water, under certain conditions of temperature and composition, forms two separate liquid phases, one rich in phenol and the other rich in water. At 30⁰ the compositions of the upper and lower layers are 70% and 9% by mass phenol, respectively. If 40kg of phenol and 60kg of water are mixed and the layers are allowed to separate at 30⁰C, what will be the weight of the two layers?
1000 kg of a solution of citric acid (C6H8O7) and water contains 5% acid and 95 % water. Citric Acid is removed from water using benzene(C6H6) as the extraction solvent. Benzene and water are immiscible. When an aqueous solution of acid is thoroughly mixed with pure benzene and allowed to settle, two layers of liquid are formed. The benzene layer contains 90% benzene and 10% citric acid; the water layer contains 1 % benzene, 0.5% acid and the rest water.   a.  Calculate the weight of the benzene used in this operation.    b. Calculate the weight of the benzene layer.
The principal reaction in a series of complex reactions performed by microorganisms involved in wine making is the conversion of sugars into alcohol in a process known as fermentation. The starting concentration of sugars determines the final alcohol content and the sweetness of the wine. Adjusting the specific gravity of the stock solution achieves the desired quality of the wine. Assuming the sugars in the stock solution with a specific gravity of 1.075 are all C12H22011 equivalent to 12.75% wt., calculate the following:a) How much is the amount of sugar per kg of water?b) How many lbs of solution is present in a cubic feet of solution?c) What is the weight of sugar in grams for every liter of solution?
