For one process your assistant has prepared four valid material balances:

0.25 mNaCl + 0.35 mKCl + 0.55 mH2O = 0.30

0.35 mNaCl + 0.20 mKCl + 0.40 mH2O = 0.30

0.40 mNaCl + 0.45 mKCl + 0.05 mH2O = 0.40

1.00 mNaCl + 1.00 mKCl + 1.00 mH2O = 1.00

He says that since the four equations exceed the number of unknowns, three, no solution exists. Is he correct? Explain briefly whether it is possible to achieve a unique solution.
