mass perc to mola flow
In the production of a drug having a molecular weight of 28.7, the aqueous exit stream from the reactor flows at the rate of 10.9 L/min. The drug concentration is 42%, and the specific gravity of the solution is 1.079. Calculate the flow rate of the drug in kmol/min.
PM=28,7
Q=10,9L/min
ge=1,079
ge= ρmixture/ρreference
Since it is a liquid mixture, the reference water density 1kg / L is taken
ρmixture=ge.ρmixture=1kg/L.1,079= 1,079kg/L
ρ=mass/Volume
Taking into account a calculation based on 1 minute
massmixture=ρmixture.Volumemixture=1,079kg/L.10,9L= 11,7611kg
Concentration=massdrugx100/massmixture
massdrug=concentrationxmassmixture/100= (42x11,7611kg)/100= 4,9397kg
molesdrug=massdrug/PMdrug= 4,9397kg/(28,7kg/kmol)=0,1721kmol
it returning calculation based is obtained the flow rate of the drug in kmol/min = 0,1721kmol/min
