    HW Material Balance Calculation

    Solve the following problems

    1. You are asked to prepare a batch of 18.63% battery acid as follows. A tank of old weak battery
    acid (H2SO4) solution contains 12.43% H2SO4 (the remainder is pure water). If 200 kg of 77.7%
    H2SO4 is added to the tank, and the final solution is to be 18.63% H2SO4, how many kilograms of
    battery acid have been made?

    2. 2,000 kg of wet solids containing 70% solids by weight are fed to a tray dryer where it is dried
    by hot air. The product finally obtained is found to contain 1% moisture by weight. Calculate
    (a) the weight of water removed from wet solids, and
    (b) the weight of product obtained

    3. 1000 kg of a 10 % by wt. sodium chloride solution is concentrated to 50 % in a batch


    evaporator. Calculate the product mass and the mass of water evaporated from the
    evaporator.

    4. A binary mixture consists of 35 % benzene and 65 % toluene are continuously fed to the
    distillation column at a rate of 1000 kg/hr. whereas, the distillate flow rate was 10% from the
    feed flow rate. The distillate (top product) contains 85 % benzene. Calculate quantity and
    compositions of the waste stream.

    5. 2000 kg of a mixture containing 10% NaCl, 60% H 2O, and 30% insoluble chalk is filtered such
    that the filtrate contains 20% NaCl and 80% water; and the wet filter cake contains 5% NaCl.
    Calculate:
    a. Mass of the filtrate
    b. Mass of the wet cake
    c. Analysis of the wet cake

    6. Soya bean seeds are extracted with hexane in batch extractors. The flaked seeds are found to
    contain 18.6% oil, 69% solids, and 12.4% moisture by weight. At the end of the extraction
    process, cake (meal) is separated from hexane-oil mixture. The cake is analysed to contain 0.8%
    oil, 87.7% solids, and 11.5% moisture by weight. Find the percentage recovery of oil. 

    7. A tank holds 10,000 kg of a saturated solution of Na 2CO3 at 30°C. You want to crystallize from
    this solution 3000 kg of Na2CO3.10H20 without any accompanying water. To what temperature
    must the solution be cooled? The solubility data of Na 2CO3 as a function of the temperature is
    given as below:
    Temp. (oC) Solubility (g Na2CO3 / 100 g H2O)
    0 7

    10 12.5

    20 21.5

    30 38.8
