Question 1 What would be the value of 5340.4 g/min when expressed in kg/s?
Correct
Select one:
Mark 1.00 out of
1.00 a. 320424000.00

b. 89006.67
c. 320.42

d. 0.09

Your answer is correct.

-3
1 g is 10  kg and one min is -3
60 s. Thus, to convert from g/min to kg/s, one
should simply multiply by 10 /60.
The correct answer is: 0.09

Question 2 Sea water with a salt mass fraction of 0.3 is pumped into an evaporator at
Correct 500 g/s for desalination. Part of the water is evaporated at a rate of 6.5
g/s. The remaining sea water then leaves the evaporator with a higher salt

concentration. Determine the mass fraction of salt in the stream leaving
1.00
the evaporator.
Assume sea water contains only salt and pure water.

Select one:
a. 0.4367

b. 0.3
c. 0.3040

d. 0.4286

Your answer is correct.

The mass fraction of water in the initial sea water is 1-0.3=0.7. Thus, the
mass flow rate of water in this stream is 500×0.7=350 g/s. From this, 6.5
g/s is evaporated meaning 350-6.5=343.5 g/s remains.
In this process, the salt mass does not change and remains constant at
500×0.3=150. Thus, the final mass fraction of salt should be
150/(343.5+150)=150/493.5
 
The correct answer is: 0.3040

Question 3 It is of interest to produce 1526 kg of diluted aqueous salt solution with a

Correct salt mass fraction of 0.03. How much pure water is required to make this
solution?
Mark 1.00 out of
1.00
Select one:
a. 1480.22 kg

b. 45.78 kg

c. Insufficient information on the water mass fraction to attempt this question

d. 1526 kg

Your answer is correct.

The amount of required salt is 1526×0.03=45.78 kg.
The rest of the solution has to be water. Thus, water content is 1526-
45.78=1480.22 kg.
The correct answer is: 1480.22 kg

Question 4 Analysis of 18 g of milk powder revealed that it comprises of 2.34 g of
Correct lactose and 12.96 g of protein while the rest is fat. Determine the mass
fraction of fat in the sample.
Mark 1.00 out of
1.00
Select one:
a. 0.21

b. 0.15

c. 1.15

d. 2.70

Your answer is correct.

Mass fraction of lactose is simply 2.34/18=0.13 and that of the protein
is 12.96/18=0.72. Thus, the mass fraction of fat is (1-0.13-0.72)/18)=0.15
The correct answer is: 0.15

Question 5 What would be the value of 5340.4 g/min when expressed in kg/s?
Correct
Select one:
Mark 1.00 out of
1.00 a. 320424000.00
b. 320.42

c. 0.09

d. 89006.67

Your answer is correct.

-3
1 g is 10  kg and one min is -3
60 s. Thus, to convert from g/min to kg/s, one
should simply multiply by 10 /60.
The correct answer is: 0.09

Question 6 What is the definition of "mass fraction" of a component in an open system?
Correct
Select one:
Mark 1.00 out of
1.00 a. Mass flow rate of the component relative to the total mass flow rate.

b. Mass flow rate of the component in the flow.

c. In a two component system, the mass fraction is defined as the ratio

between mass flow rate of one component over that of the other
component in the flow.

Your answer is correct.

The correct answer is: Mass flow rate of the component relative to the total
mass flow rate.

Question 7 Analysis of 18 g of milk powder revealed that it comprises of 2.34 g of

Correct lactose and 12.96 g of protein while the rest is fat. Determine the mass
fraction of fat in the sample.
Mark 1.00 out of
1.00
Select one:
a. 2.70

b. 0.21
c. 1.15

d. 0.15

Your answer is correct.

Mass fraction of lactose is simply 2.34/18=0.13 and that of the protein
is 12.96/18=0.72. Thus, the mass fraction of fat is (1-0.13-0.72)/18)=0.15
The correct answer is: 0.15
