Solution-1 containing 40% acetic acid and 20% carbon dioxide at the rate F combines with Solution-2 containing 20% acetic acid and 40% carbon dioxide at the rate D, the product formed contains 30% acetic acid at the rate P, what is the percentage of carbon dioxide in product?

Solution-1 containing 40% acetic acid and 20% carbon dioxide at the rate F combines with Solution-2 containing 20% acetic acid and 40% carbon dioxide at the rate D, the product formed contains 30% acetic acid at the rate P, what is the percentage of carbon dioxide in product? Correct Answer 30%

The equations for material balance are: 0.4F + 0.2D = 0.3P, F + D = P, and 0.2F + 0.4D = yP, solving these we get y = 0.3, => percentage of carbon dioxide = 30%.
