Question

Solid gypsum, CaSO₄2H₂O, is formed in a crystallizer and leaves the unit as particles suspended in a liquid solution of CaSO₄ in water. The solid gypsum mixed with the liquid solution is called slurry. Given the following data and on a basis of 2-Liter slurry:

Solid gypsum = 0.35 kg CaSO₄2H₂O/L slurry
Density of gypsum = 2.32 g/mL
Specific gravity of liquid solution = 1.05
Density of water = 1 g/mL
Solubility of liquid solution = 0.209 g CaSO₄/100 g H₂O

At. Wts.:
Ca=40.1
S=32
O=16
H=1

Calculate the following:
(a) Volume percent of liquid solution in the slurry
(b) Weight of liquid solution in the slurry (in g)
(c) Molarity of liquid solution
(d) Degree Baume of solution
(e) Total weight of CaSO₄ in the slurry
