Broth harvested from a fermenter is treated for recovery and purification of a pharmaceutical compound. After filtration of the broth and partial evaporation of the aqueous filtrate, a solution containing 38.6% (w/w) pharmaceutical leaves the evaporator at a flow rate of 8.6 liters min. The specific gravity of the solution is 1.036. If the molecular weight of the drug is 1421 g/mol, calculate: (a) The concentration of pharmaceutical in the solution in units of kg/L (b) The flow rate of pharmaceutical in mol/min
