A feed solution of 10,000 lb at 130 °F containing 47.0 lb FeSO4 per 100 lb total water is cooled to 80 °F, where FeSO4·7H2O crystals are removed. The solubility of the salt is 30.5 lb FeSO4 per 100 lb total water. The average heat capacity of the feed solution is 0.70 Btu/lb-°F. The heat of solution at 18 °C is -4.4 kcal/gmol FeSO4·7H2O. Calculate the yield of crystals and the total heat to be removed from the system.

Question

A feed solution of 10,000 lb at 130 °F containing 47.0 lb FeSO4 per 100 lb total water is 
cooled to 80 °F, where FeSO4·7H2O crystals are removed. The solubility of the salt is 30.5 
lb FeSO4 per 100 lb total water. The average heat capacity of the feed solution is 0.70 
Btu/lb-°F. The heat of solution at 18 °C is -4.4 kcal/gmol FeSO4·7H2O. Calculate the yield 
of crystals and the total heat to be removed from the system.
