Question:

A suspension of calcium carbonate particles in water flows through a pipe. Your assignment is to determine both the flow rate and the composition of this slurry. You proceed to collect the stream in a graduated cylinder for 1.00 min; you then weigh the cylinder, evaporate the collected water, and reweigh the cylinder. The following results are obtained:

Mass of empty cylinder:                             65.0g

Mass of cylinder + collected slurry:            565g

Volume collected:                                       455mL

Mass of cylinder after evaporation:            215g

Calculate

(a) The volumetric flow rate and mass flow rate of the suspension.

(b) The density of the suspension.

(c) The mass fraction of CaCO3 in the suspension.
