Solvent extraction is an equilibrium process and it is controlled by:

Correct answer: C. Distribution law

  • A. Law of mass action
  • B. The amount of solvent used
  • C. Distribution law
  • D. The amount of solute

Explanation

Solvent extraction is governed by the Distribution Law. This law states that a solute will distribute itself between two immiscible solvents in a constant ratio of concentrations at equilibrium, based on its relative solubility in each.
