A suspension of calcium carbonate particles in water flows through a pipe. Your assignment is to determine both the flow rate and the composition of this slurry. You proceed to collect the stream in a graduated cylinder for 1.00 min; you then weigh the cylinder, evaporate the collected water, and reweigh the cylinder. The following results are obtained:
Mass of empty cylinder:65.0g
Mass of cylinder + collected slurry:565g
Volume collected:455mL
Mass of cylinder after evaporation:215g
Calculate
(a) The volumetric flow rate and mass flow rate of the suspension.
(b) The density of the suspension.
(c) The mass fraction of CaCO3 in the suspension.
