Lactic acid is an important pharmaceutical product that is manufactured by fermentation of glucose. To separate the lactic acid from the biomass, filtration followed by centrifugation is employed. A mix containing 23% by mass lactic acid enters the filtration unit at the rate of 6,456 kg/hour. After filtration, the sludge of lactic acid/biomass contains 12 % by mass lactic acid and the filtrate itself contains 100% lactic acid by mass. The sludge then goes to the centrifuge where the solids generated contain 8% lactic acid by mass and the liquid portion stream has 100% lactic acid by mass. Calculate mass flow rate in kg/hour of the stream leaving the filtration unit containing pure lactic acid. [report number with one decimal e.g. 100.4]

A geochemist in the field takes a small sample of the crystals of mineral compound X from a rock pool lined with more crystals of X. He notes the temperature of the pool, 24. C, and caps the sample carefully. Back in the lab, the geochemist dissolves the crystals in 3.00 L of distilled water. He then filters this solution and evaporates all the water under vacuum. Crystals of X are left behind. The researcher washes, dries and weighs the crystals. They weigh 45.0 g. Using only the information above, can you calculate yes the solubility of X in water at 24." C no If you said yes, calculate it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and 3 signiicant digits.

Beyond the Course: Your beverage company is branching out from added sugar in their beverages to make a drink where the main ingredient is fresh-squeezed orange juice, called Beverage C. Yum! The beverage will still be subjected to the same taxes as Beverages A & B, so determining sugar content is still vital. Suggest a method of reliably examining the sugar concentration in each batch of Beverage C. Some considerations to address: Do you want to measure the same property for Beverage C as you did for Beverages A & B? ● Can you use the same calibration curve as you did for Beverages A & B? Describe the considerations you made when determining your method.
A student determined the molar mass of an unknown ionic solid by the method used in this experiment. She found the equilibrium temperature of the ice water mixture (THE FREEZING POINT) to be 0.50°C on her thermometer. When she added 3.10 g of her solid to the mixture, the temperature fell to -4.30°C. She then poured off the solution into a beaker. The mass of the solution was 34.59 g. Kf = 1.86°C/m What was the freezing point depression ∆Tf (celsius) What was the molality of the unknown solution? How much water was in the solution? What did she find to be the observed molar mass of the ionic solid, assuming she made the calculation properly?
