The following questions are connected to each other to arrive at final answer. 

a.) How many input stream were described in this problem? [a] 1; [b] 2 ; [c] 3; [d] 4

b.) What is the correct of all balance? [i] A+C+D = B ; [ii] A-C-B = D; [iii] A+B+C = D; [iv] A+B= C+D 

c.) The total number of independent equations that can be formulated is? [a] 1; [b] 2; [c] 3; [d] 4

d.) Starting with 100 kg of the solution containing 93% H2SO4. what equation correspond to HNO3 balance? 

i. 0.23 A + 0.90 D = 0.27 B 

ii. 0.57 A - 0.60 B + 93 = 0 

iii. 0.20 A + 0.10 D = 0.13 B + 7 

iv. 0.23 A + 93 + 0.90 D = 0.27 B

(e) How much waste acid is required to produce the desired product given that 100 kg H2SO4 was available? 

i. 106.99 kg 

ii. 149.65 kg 

iii. 256.64 kg 

iv. 49.65 kg 

 

The waste acid (A) from a nitrating process contains 23% HNO3, 57% H₂SO4, and 20% H₂O
by weight. This is to be recovered as a usable product (B) that contains 27% HNO3 and 60%
H₂SO4 by the addition of concentrated sulfuric acid (C) containing 93% H₂SO4 and
concentrated nitric acid (D) containing 90% HNO3.
