1. M1 and M2 are mixed to produce a solution that will be distributed into two tanks as
shown on the diagram below. Find how much of components A and B are there in M1 if
M4 is twice as much as M5.
SOLUTION:
m5 = 200 kg/hr
m4 = (200 kg/hr)(2) = 400 kg/hr
m1 = m4
m2 = m5
Material balance over K
m3 = m4 + m5
m3 = 400 kg/hr + 200 kg/hr
m3 = 600 kg/hr

Material balance over mixer:

m1 + m2 = m3
m1 + m2 = 600 kg/hr
Component A balance over mixture
(m1)(0.9) + m2 = (600)(0.75)
0.9 m1 + m2 = 450 -------- (a)
Component B balace over mixture
(m1)(0.1) + m2 = (600)(0.25)
0.1 m1 + m2 = 150 -------- (b)
Solving equation a
0.9 m1 + m2 = 450
450
0.9 m1 = 450 m1 = = 500 kg/hr
0.9
Solving equation b
0.1 m1 + m2 = 150
(0.1)( 500) + m2 = 150
m2 = 150 – [(0.1)( 500)]
m2 = 100 kg/hr
FINAL ANSWER:
Composition A
(0.9)( m1) = (0.9)( 500 kg/hr) = 450 kg/hr
Composition B
(0.1)(m1) = (0.1)( 500 kg/hr) = 50 kg/hr

2. One liter of ethyl alcohol is mixed with 1 L of water at 20 degrees Celsius, how many
kilograms of the solution result?
GIVEN:
V1 = Ethyl Alcohol (CH3CH2OH) = 1 L = 1000 mL

V2 = Water (H2O) = 1 L = 1000 mL
ρ 1 = ρ alcohol = 0.789 g/mL
ρ 2 = ρ water = 0.998 g/mL
SOLUTION:
M1 + M2 = P
M1 = ρ 1V1 M2 = ρ 2V2
= (0.789 g/mL)*(1000 mL) = (0.998 g/mL)*(1000 mL)
= 789 g = 998 g
M1 = 0.789 kg M2 = 0.998 kg
P = M1 + M2
P = 0.789 kg + 0.998 kg
P = 1.787 kg ≈ 1.8 kg
FINAL ANSWER:
P = 1.8 kg

3. How much water should be evaporated in order to produce a 25% KCl solution having
a Feed of 100 kg with 9% KCl solution?
SOLUTION:
Feed
100 kg
9% KCl solution
(100)(0.09) = 9 kg KCl solution

100 - 9 = 91 kg water
Output
25% KCl solution

100 - x
(100)(0.09) = (100 - x) (0.25)

9 = 25 - 0.25x
9 - 25 = -0.25x
-16 = -0.25x
-16-0.25 = x
64 = x
