CuSO$_4$, in solution with pure water, is being fed to 'n crystallizer, where 85% of the CuSO$_4$ is allowed to
crystallize by evaporating 150 kg/hr of water. The crystals, together with the remaining CuSO$_4$ in solution at a
mass ratio of 1:5 with the water, are sent to a separator where 50 kg/hr of pure crystals (everything that
crystallized) are recovered. The remainder of the solution is recycled to the crystallizer.

a.) Bereken elke stroom se totale massa vloeitempo (in kg/h), asook die massa fraksie van elke komponent
in elke stroom (NB: Maak gebruik van die aangehegde blad op bladsy 7 van die vraestel).

Determine the total mass flow rate of each stream (in kg/h), as well as the mass fraction of each
component in each stream (NB: Make use of the attached sheet on page 7 of the question paper). (15)
