Question: Problem #2 (34%) 1.3Kg of a solution containing 30wt% ethanol (E) and the rest water (W) is placed in a beaker. A separate second solution

 Problem \#2 (34\%) 1.3Kg of a solution containing 30wt% ethanol (E)

Problem \#2 (34\%) 1.3Kg of a solution containing 30wt% ethanol (E) and the rest water (W) is placed in a beaker. A separate second solution of 26wt% ethanol and the rest methanol (M) and water (both species in unknown concentrations) is placed in another beaker. You mixed together these solutions and you obtain a final solution containing 28.9 wt\% of ethanol (E). You also know that the 82.3% of the water in the final solution comes from the first solution. a. Balance this process following the usual procedure (schematic, labeling, basis, control volume; DOF analysis; equations; solution) b. Determine the mass of the initial ethanol/water solution that you need to use if you want to prepare a final solution with a mass of 20kg
