A mixing tank contains 125 kg corn liquor and 45 kg beet molasses; water is then added to produce a
diluted sugar mixture containing 2% (w/w) invert sugars. Corn liquor contains 3% invert sugars and
50% water, the rest can be considered solids. Beet molasses contains 50% sucrose, 1% invert sugars,
and 18% water; the remainder is solids.
(a) How much water is required?
(b) What is the concentration of sucrose in the final mixture?
