(ii) Part of the by-product from a processing plant is a stream containing 53%H3PO4,22%C2H4O2 and 25%H2O by mass. It is required to concentrate this acid to produce one containing 61%H3PO4 and 29%C2H4O2 by adding concentrated phosphoric acid containing 95%H3PO4 and concentrated acetic acid containing 91%C2H4O2.. If the mass flow rate of the by-product acid steam is 130kgh-1, calculate the mass flow rates of the concentrated acid streams and the total flow rate of the final acid mixture.
