step by step solution

An aqueous serine solution containing 25.0 wtis serine and 75.0wt% water is added along with methanoi to a batch crystallizer that is allowed to equalibrate at 10C. The resulting crystals are recovered by filtration; liquid passing through the filter is known as filtrate. and the recovered crystals may be assumed in this problem to be free of adhering filtrate: The erystals contain a mole of water for every mole of serine and are known as a monohydrate. The crystal mass recovered in a particular laboratory run is 500.9g and the filtrate is determined to be 4.40wt% serine. 48.8 wt\%k watet and 46.8 wt: methanol, a. Determine the number of unknowns and independent mass balances that may be written for the crystalization operation. There are unknowns. There are independent mass balances that may be written for the crystallization operation. b. Determine the ratio of the mass of methanol added per unit mass of aqueous serine solution. The ratio of the mass of methanol added per unit mass of aqueous serine feed is c. The laboratory process is to be scaled to produce 750.0kg/hr of serine monolydrate. Determine the required feed rates (kg/l) of aqueous L-5erine solution and of methanol. The feed rate of aqueous L-serine solution is The feed rate of methanol is kg/hri
