Question: An aqueous solution containing 6 0 % N a 2 S 2 O 3 and 1 % soluble impurities is diluted with water and fed

An aqueous solution containing 60%Na2S2O3 and 1% soluble impurities is diluted with water and fed to a crystallizer where it is cooled in order to crystallize Na2S2O3-5H2O. The crystals carry 0.05kg of solution (excluding impurities) per kg of crystals. The free water present in the adhering solution is removed on drying the crystals. The final dried product contains not more than 0.1% impurity. The solubility of the hydrate is 1.5kgNa2S2O3-5H2Okg free water. On the basis of 100kg of 60% solution, calculate the following:
a) the amount of water in kilograms before cooling
b) the amount of crystals formed
c) the percentage recovery of Na2S2O3 in the dried hydrated crystals
 An aqueous solution containing 60%Na2S2O3 and 1% soluble impurities is diluted
