Red oak has 4 2 % cellulose, 2 8 % hemicellulose ( 2 2 % xylan and 6 % arabinan ) , 2 4 %

Red oak has 42% cellulose, 28% hemicellulose (22% xylan and 6% arabinan),24% lignin, 5% extractives, and 1% ash. In an acid hydrolysis example plant (as shown in attached figure),100kg of red oak sawdust is hydrolyzed. The results show that the cellulose and hemicellulose are completely hydrolyzed to monomeric sugars. In addition, some of the hydrolyzed sugars (30% glucose, 30% xylose, and 50% arabinose) are dehydrated to HMF and furfural. If there is no further decomposition or condensation of the furans generated, what is the quantity (in kg) of HMF produced in this process?
