Organic phase benzoic acid concentration profile:
Starting with Eq. (2.4-3) and Fig. 2.1 pg. 24
(V1 + mV2 ) dx = RC A − (R + Sm )x
dt o
Subject to x = 0 at t = 0
Using the method of section 2.1
R + Sm R + Sm
R + Sm ∫ V1 + mV2 dt t
μ (t ) = such that μ (t ) = e =e V1 + mV2
V1 + mV2
Therefore the differential equation becomes

which solves to + k1e

where k1 is an arbitrary constant to be determined by the initial condition.
That is at t = 0, x = 0:
