Feed solution F is contacted with solvent B in an extraction process. Carrier liquid in the feed is A and the solute is C. The ternary diagram depicting a single ideal stage extraction is given below. The dashed lines represent the tie-lines.
The CORRECT option(s) is/are
A
For the tie-lines shown, concentration of solute in the extract is higher than that in the raffinate
B
Maximum amount of solvent is required if the mixture composition is at W
C
Y represents the composition of extract when minimum amount of solvent is used
D
U represents the raffinate composition if the mixture composition is at M

Correct : a;c;d
