A feed solution of 2268kg at 328K containing 48.2kgMgSO/100kg water is cooled to 293K where MgSO4.7H2O crystals are produced. Solubility of the salt is 35.5kgMgSO4.7H2O/100kg water. Average heat capacity of the feed solution is 2.93kJ/kg.K. Heat of solution at 293K is 13.31 103kJ/kmolMgSO47H2O. Assume no water is evaporated. (i) Calculate yield and heat absorbed/evolved. (ii) If the solution is cooled to 283K instead, where the solubility is 31kg MgSO4.7H2O/100kg water, how would it affect the yield and the heat absorbed/evolved. Heat of solution remains unchanged
