Awastewater stream is contaminated with 6 weight percent acetic acid and flows into a process at 10,000 kg/hr. prior to release, the level of acetic acid must be reduced to 0.5 weight percent. two solvents are being considered for extraction of the acetic acid: methyl acetate and 1-heptadecanol. the distribution coefficient kd (weight fraction aa in the solvent phase divided by the weight fraction aa in the water phase) for methyl acetate is 1.273. kd for 1-heptadecanol is 0.312. you can assume that both solvents are completely insoluble in water. a)how much of each solvent is required if the extraction is done in a single equilibrium stage? b)which solvent would you choose? provide reasons for your selection.'

For a research project, a student decided to test the effect of the lead(ii) ion (pb2+) on the ability of salmon eggs to hatch. this ion was obtainable from the water‐soluble salt, lead(ii) nitrate, which the student decided to make by the following reaction. pbo(s) + 2 hno3(aq) → pb(no3)2(aq) + h2o losses of product for various reasons were expected, and a yield of 86.0% was expected. in order to have 5.00 g of product at this yield, how many grams of pbo should be reacted? (assume that sufficient nitric acid, hno3, would be used.)

Pl what kind of reaction is this? nahco3 + h2o → co2 + naoh + h2o -composition -decomposition -single replacement -double replacement im leaning more toward single replacement. if im wrong can you explain whyy?
