Solution-1 containing 30% acetic acid and 100% nitrogen at the rate 10 Kg/min combines with Solution-2 containing 20% acetic acid and 10% nitrogen at the rate 20 Kg/min and Solution-3 containing 10% acetic acid and 30% nitrogen at the rate 30 Kg/min the product formed contains 20% acetic acid, what is the percentage of nitrogen in product?

Correct Answer: 10%
The equations for material balance are: P = 10 + 20 + 30 = 60 Kg/min, and 0.1(10) + 0.1(20) + 0.3(30) = y(60), => y = 0.1, => Percentage of nitrogen in the product = 10%.
