  3. "The extraction is the separation of the mixture based on its solubility on a particular solvent". How is the process? What is the purpose of that particular solvent?

    1. Stages of extraction
      - mixing the extraction materials with the solvent and contacting each other. In this case there is mass transfer by diffusion in the interface of the extraction agent and the solvent. Thus the actual extraction takes place, namely the dissolution of the extract.
      - by using cleansing or filtration.
      - Isolate the extract from the solution and return the solvent, generally done by evaporating the solvent. In certain cases, can be quickly processed further or dioalh after dipekatkan

  4. Specify the type of atomic radius

    1. According to this excellent article on Wikipedia (which I helped edit), the radius depends on the atom. It ranges from 32 to 225 pm = picometers (helium to cesium). A pm = 10^-12 m.

      Or if you like, 0.032 to 0.225 nm.

      Or 0.32 to 2.25 Angstroms.

      He is 0.32 A but hydrogen is 0.53 A and the H2 molecule is larger at 1.1 A or so. So you see why helium gets into and out of anything. It’s small and slippery.

    1. The distillation is a separation of the mixture based on the difference in the boiling point. In studying distillation, we should be more familiar with the vapor pressure, boiling point, heat distillation and bumping and mixed vapor pressure diagrams of 2 kinds of liquids
