A drug having a molar mass of 160 is being produced in a reactor. The aqueous effluent (exit stream) of the reactor is flowing at the rate of 8 L/min, has a specific gravity of 1.051 and has a drug concentration of 42.9 wt%. If we take a basis of 100 kg of the reactor effluent stream determine the: d)concentration of drug in grams per L e) mass flow rate of drug out of the reactor in grams/min f) molar flow rate of drug out of the reactor in mols/min

Question
A drug having a molar mass of 160 is being produced in a reactor. The aqueous effluent (exit stream) of the reactor is flowing at the rate of 8 L/min, has a specific gravity of 1.051 and has a drug concentration of 42.9 wt%. If we take a basis of 100 kg of the reactor effluent stream determine the:
d)concentration of drug in grams per L
e) mass flow rate of drug out of the reactor in grams/min
f) molar flow rate of drug out of the reactor in mols/min
