Question
Brine containing 10% salt by weight is dried to get moist salt containing 80% salt by weight. How many kilograms of moist salt can be obtained from 88 kg of brine?6.62.28.811
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to first determine how much salt is in the original 88 kg of brine.
Step 1: Calculate the amount of salt in the original brine Since the brine contains 10% salt by weight, we multiply 88 kg by 10% (or 0.10) to find the amount of salt in the brine.
88 kg * 0.10 = 8.8 kg of salt
Step 2: Calculate the amount of moist salt We know that the moist salt contains 80% salt by weight. So, we can find the total weight of the moist salt by dividing the weight of the salt by the percentage of salt in the moist salt.
8.8 kg / 0.80 = 11 kg of moist salt
So, 11 kg of moist salt can be obtained from 88 kg of brine.
