300 kg of a saturated solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) at 373K are cooled to 293K and the crystals are filtered out. Wet filter cake contains 80% solid crystals and 20% mother liquor. The wet cake is dried to remove water by evaporation. (MW=169.89 g/mol) a. Calculate the fraction of silver nitrate in the feed stream removed eventually as dry crystals; b. The kilograms of water evaporated during the drying operations Solubility of silver nitrate in water: 952 kg of silver nitrate per 100 kg of water at 373K and 222 kg of silver nitrate per 100 kg of water at 293 K.
