4. What is the formula for fraction of the solute i absorbed?
a) A i N+1 – 1/ A i N+1 –A i
b) A i N+1 – A i / A i N+1 –1
c) S i N+1 – S i / S i N+1 –1
d) S i N+1 – A i / S i N+1 –1
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The formula for fraction of the solute I absorbed is A i N+1 – A i / A i N+1 –1 where A i = L/K i V.

5. What is the formula for fraction of the solute i stripped?
a) A i N+1 – 1/ A i N+1 –A i
b) A i N+1 – A i / A i N+1 –1
c) S i N+1 – S i / S i N+1 –1
d) S i N+1 – A i / S i N+1 –1
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The formula for fraction of the solute I stripped is S i N+1 – S i / S i N+1 –1 Where S i = K i V/L.
