A feed stream ( 2 0 0 kg / h ) containing 4 0 % mass of acetone in water is mixed with a solvent

A feed stream (200 kg/h) containing 40% mass of acetone in water is mixed with a solvent containing 5% water in 95% MIBK in an extractor. The ratio of solvent to feed is 1:1.
Calculate
(i) The mass fractions of each component (Acetone, Water and MIBK) in mixed phase (M) in the mixer, and in Extract (E) and Raffinate (R) phase in the settler
(ii) The flow rates of Extract (E) and Raffinate (R).
(iii) Show graphically the mixing point (M), E and R phase compositions
Please use the following ternary diagram for the calculations.
