An open storage tank initially contains 10 000 kg aqueous solution of a non-volatile organic compound. The concentration of organic compound in the initial solution is 10% by weight. The solution is stirred at certain intervals by pressurized air via a pipeline attached to the bottom of the tank. One night, the pressurized air line is accidentally remained open. At the same time, a leak occurs at the bottom of the tank. Both problems are fixed after 10 hours. If the leak flow rate is 1 kg/min and air flows at a rate sufficient to vaporize 1 kg water per minute, how much organic compound has been lost at the end of this period?
