    The document describes a process for blending acids to produce a mixed acid. It provides the compositions of three starting acids and calculates the amounts of each needed to produce 1700 kg of a mixed acid that is 65% sulfuric acid, 20% nitric acid, and 15% water. By setting up and solving material balances on the nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and overall mixture, it determines the amounts of each starting acid to be 643.6206 kg of spent acid, 299.6064 kg of concentrated nitric acid, and 756.773 kg of concentrated sulfuric acid.

    Spent Acid (A)

    10% HNO3
    60% H2SO4
    30% H20
    Mixed Acid (D)
    Conc. Nitric Acid (B) 65% H2SO4
    92% HNO3 Blending 20% HNO3
    8% H20 15% H20
    1700 Kg
    Conc. Sulfuric Acid (C)
    95% H2SO4
    5% H20

    Overall Material Balance


    A+B+C=D
    A + B + C = 1700 (1)

    Material Balance on HNO3


    0.10A + 0.92B = 0.20D
    0.10A + 0.92B = 0.20*1700
    B = (340 - 0.10A) / 0.92 (2)

    Material Balance on H2SO4


    0.60A + 0.95C = 0.65D
    0.60A + 0.95C = 0.65*1700
    C = (1105 - 0.60A) / 0.95 (3)

    Substuting value of B & C (1)


    + [(340 - 0.10A) / 0.92] + [(1105 - 0.60A) / 0.95] = 1700
    A = 643.6206 Kg

    Substuting value of A in (2)


    B = (340 - 0.10*643.6206) / 0.92
    B = 299.6064 Kg

    Substuting value of A & B in (1)


    A + B + C = 1700
    643.6206 + 299.6064 + C = 1700
    C = 756.773 Kg
