3) (20 PTS). Magnesium sulfate hydrates are crystallized by a two-stage equilibrium process. The feed enters at 80C with a total flow rate of 250kg/hr and 45wt% soluble MgSO4. In the first crystallizer, hexahydrate crystals are produced at 60C and the solid exits with a portion of the mother liquor. A. fraction of the mother liquor ( 100kg/hr ) is then sent to the 24 crystallizer, which operates at isothermally at 20C to produce heptahydrate crystals. The solid exits with some mother liquor while 85.7% (by mass) of the mother liquor exits in the overflow. Using the solid-liquid phase diagram on the followitg page, answer the following questions. [Mw(MgSO4)=120.37g/mol, Mw(H2O)=18g/mol] Calculate the amount of MgSO4(kg/hr) in the solid (s) or mother liquor (1) in the following streams: 3) (20 PTS).
