ASSIGNMENT - 1

MATERIAL BALANCE WITHOUT CHEMICAL REACTION

Q. No. Do as directed.
Q-1 A drier is fed with wet solid to reduce the moisture content from 80% to 15%. The product leaving the
drier is admitted into an oven which further brings down the moisture to 2%. If the drier can handle
1000 kg of wet solid per day, calculate (a) the weight of products leaving the drier and the oven per day
(b) the percentage of the original water that is removed in the drier and the oven.
Q-2 1000 kg of mixed acid of composition 40% H2SO4, 45%HNO3 and 15% H2O is to be produced by
strengthening waste acid of composition 30% H2SO4, 36% HNO3 and 34% H2O by weight. Concentrated
sulphuric acid of strength 95% and concentrated nitric acid containing 80% acid are available for this
purpose. How many kilograms of spent acid and concentrated acids are to be mixed together?
Q-3 Isopropyl alcohol and water can be separated by extraction with ethylene tetrachloride (C 2Cl4). 100 kg
of a solution containing 30% (weight) isopropyl alcohol and the rest water is mixed with the solvent
ethylene tetrachloride. After extraction, the raffinate phase analysed 71%water, 28.1% isopropyl
alcohol and 0.9% ethylene tetrachloride. The extract phase analyzed 94% ethylene tetrachloride, 5.2%
isopropyl alcohol and the rest water. Calculate (a) the amount of solvent (b) the quantities of raffinate
and extract phase and (c) the percentage extraction of isopropyl alcohol.
Q-4 An aqueous solution of methanol containing 20% (weight) methanol is to be separated into a distillate
product containing 97% (weight) methanol and a bottom product containing 2% (weight) methanol.
For treating 100 kg of feed with a reflux ratio of 3.5 on a weight basis, calculate (a) the amount of
distillate and the bottom products (b) the amount of vapour condensed in the condenser per kg of
distillate and (c) the amount of vapour condensed in the condenser per kg of feed.
Q-5 In a textile industry, it is desired to make a 24% solution (by mass) of caustic soda. Due to the very high
heat of dissolution of caustic soda in water, the above solution is prepared by a two step process. First,
in a dissolution tank, caustic soda is dissolved in the correct quantity of water to produce 50% (by
mass) solution. After complete dissolution and cooling, the solution is taken to dilution tank where
some more water is added to produce 24% solution. The two step process is shown in figure.

Assuming no evaporation loss in the dissolution and dilution tanks, calculate the mass ratio of W 1/W2.
