1. 5000kg of saturated solution of KAl(SO4)2 is cooled from 80C to 20C in a crystalliser. The KAl(SO4)2 crystallises as a dodecahydrate, i.e. as KAl(SO4)212H2O settling in the tank and being discharged through the bottom. The overflow is a saturated solution at 20C. The solubility of KAl(SO4)2 is 51.5%(w/w) at 80C and 5.7%(w/w) at 20C. Calculate the amount of KAl(SO4)2 crystals obtained (non-hydrated basis). M(KAl(SO4)2)=258.21gmol1,M(KAl(SO4)2.12H2O)=474.39gmol1
