We were asked to extract benzoic acid from a kerosene-benzoic acid mixture. This was to be done using the stirred liquid-liquid extraction column in the senior laboratory.

These measurements were to be made at several different steady-states. The number of theoretical stages and the height of the theoretical …showed first 75 words of 2176 total…
