A solution of acetone(A) and Water (W) is fed at a rate of 32 lb/hr to a tank with agitation. Also fed into this tank is a stream of pure methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) and the resulting mixture is sent to a separator operating at 25°C. One of the phases formed has a flow rate of 41 lb/hr and contains 70% by weight of MIBK. Determine the flow rate and composition of the second product stream and the rate at which it is fed the MIBK extractant to the unit
