Mass Transfer Problems

This set of Mass Transfer Problems focuses on “Extraction-Liquid Liquid Equilibria”.

1. Solvent extraction is basically known as
a) Gas-liquid extraction
b) Liquid- liquid extraction
c) Liquid –solid extraction
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The solute in the liquid mixture can be separated with liquid solvent. Also generally extraction is a liquid-liquid operation and the solvent used is a liquid.

2. Liquid-liquid mixture is separated with solvent extraction by adding _______ solvent.
a) Soluble
b) Insoluble
c) Partially soluble
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Generally, mass transfer occurs, if an insoluble phase is added to a mixture. In extraction, the insoluble phase is a liquid solvent.

3. Find the representation X.

a) Extract
b) Raffinate
c) Residue
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The expected solutes are extracted from the liquid by the solvent is more in extract phase.

4. Solvent lean phase are known as
a) Extract
b) Raffinate
c) Residue
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The extracted solute will be rich in a solvent rich phase known as extract. Remaining small quantity of solute present in the solvent lean phase is known as raffinate.

5. Will it be possible to separate multi-component solution with the help of two solvents.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: There are many other ways to separate multi-components from the liquid solution with the help of two or more solvents.

6. The method of using two solvents is known as double solvent.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Two solvents are used for multi-component separation is preferably known as double solvent.

7. Fractional extraction is also known as ________
a) Solvent
b) Double solvent
c) Triple solvent
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Double solvent extraction is also known as fractional extraction.

8. The composition of substances in the extraction are represented by __________
a) Rectangle
b) Isosceles triangle
c) Equilateral triangle
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Sum of perpendicular distance at any point inside the equilateral triangle is 100.

9. Find the representation A for extraction process.
