Question

At \(16%\) wet basis moisture content, the sample of grain contains \(16\) kg of water and \(84\) kg of dry matter. If the same amount of grain again dried to \(11%\) moisture content, the final weight of water will be ____.

• A. \(9.24\ \text{kg}\)
• B. \(9.13\ \text{kg}\)
• C. \(10.38\ \text{kg}\)
• D. \(4.225\ \text{kg}\)

Hint:

Wet basis moisture content: \[ \boxed{ M_w = \frac{\text{Water mass}} {\text{Total mass}} \times100 } \] Important drying principle: \[ \boxed{ \text{Dry matter remains constant during drying} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
