Acetic acid (HAc) is generated by the addition of 10% excess sulfuric acid to calcium acetate (Ca(Ac)₂) (stream 1 compared to stream 3).  The flow diagram is shown below. 

The reaction Ca(Ac)₂ +H₂SO₄ -> CaSO₄ + 2HAc goes to 90% conversion based on a single pass through the reactor.  The outlet stream from the reactor is separated into 3 streams, one containing Ca(Ac)₂ which is recycled, one containing HAc, and one containing H₂SO₄ and CaSO₄. 

Find the amount of recycle per hour based on 1000kg of Ca(Ac)₂ feed (stream 2) per hour.  Also calculate the kg of HAc manufactured per hour.
