Question

Two aqueous sulfuric acid solutions containing 20.0 wt% H2SO4 (SG = 1.1398 ) and 80.0 wt% H2SO4 (SG = 1.7272 ) are mixed to form a 3.729 molar solution (SG = 1.2191 ).

a) Calculate the mass fraction of sulfuric acid in the product solution.

b)Calculate the feed ratio (liters 20.0 % solution/liter 80.0 % solution).

c) What feed rate of the 80.0 % solution (L/h) would be required to produce 1450 kg/h of the product? in L/h
