Two liquid streams are flowing at constant rates into a blender. One is benzene, which flows at a measured rate of 20.0L/min, and the other is toluene. The blended mixture enters a storage tank (inner diameter = 5.5m) equipped with a sight gauge. During an interval in which no liquid leaves the storage tank, the liquid level in the tank is observed to increase by 0.15 meters over a one-hour period. Calculate the flow rate of toluene into the blender (L/min) and the composition of the tank contents (wt% benzene).

Air is separated into two product streams in a separator operating at steady state. One product stream is 98 mol% oxygen, and it contains 80% of the oxygen in the air fed to the column. The other product stream is mostly nitrogen. To a good approximation, air is 79 mol% nitrogen and 21 mol% oxygen. Calculate the quantity of air required, in tons/day, to produce 1 ton/day of the oxygen product. In addition, calculate the mol% nitrogen in the second...
