Question: Two streams flow into a 5 0 0 . 0 - gallon tank. The first stream is 1 0 . 0 w t % ethanol

Two streams flow into a 500.0-gallon tank. The first stream is 10.0wt% ethanol and 90.0 wt % hexane (mixture density is 10.680
gcm3) and the second is 90.0wt% ethanol, 10.0wt% hexane (mixture density 20.780gcm3).
After the tank has been filled, which takes 12.0 minutes, an analysis of its contents determines that it is 75.0 wt % ethanol and 25.0
wt % hexane.
Estimate the density of the final mixture and the mass and volumetric flow rates of the two feed streams.
Mass flow rate of stream 1:
