Corn-steep liquor contains 2.5 % invert sugars and 50% water; the rest can be considered solids. Beet molasses containing 50% sucrose, 1% invert sugars, 18% water and the remainder solids, is mixed with corn-steep liquor in a mixing tank. Water is added to produce a diluted sugar mixture containing 2% (w/w) invert sugars. 125 kg corn-steep liquor and 45 kg molasses are fed into the tank.

 How much water is required?
