150 lb of NaCl are initially dissolved in 500 gal of a NaCl solution in a container. Water is continuously added to the containe

r at a rate of 5 gal/min and the container content, which is kept uniform by mixing, is also withdrawn out of the container at 5 gal/min. Determine how much NaCl will be in the tank at the end of 1.5 hours.

Answer:

After 90 minutes there will be 60.5 lb NaCl in the tank

Explanation:

Initially, you have 150 lb/500 gal = 0.300 lb/gal NaCl

After 1 minute, the volume will be the same but you will have less NaCl in the solution.

After the first minute, the mass of NaCl you will lose will be:

0.3 lb/gal · 5 gal = 1.5 lb

Then, the concentration of the solution will be:

(150 lb - 1.5 lb)/ 500 gal = 0.297 lb/gal

After the second minute:

mass of NaCl lost = 0.297 lb/gal · 5 gal = 1.485 lb

concentration of the solution = (148.5 lb - 1.485 lb) / 500 gal = 0.29403 lb/gal

After the third minute:

mass of NaCl lost = 0.294 lb/gal · 5 gal = 1.47015 lb

concentration of the solution = 147.015 lb - 1.47015 lb / 500 gal = 0.2910897 lb/gal

Notice that the solution is being diluted by 1% every minute. Then, the concentration of the solution after every minute will be 99% of the previous solution. For example, after the first minute, the concentration of the solution  will be 99% of the original solution (99% of 0.3 lb/gal = 0.297 lb/gal). Mathematically, we can express it as follows:

0.3  lb/gal · 0.99 = 0.297 lb/gal

After the second minute:

0.297 lb/gal · 0.99 = 0.29403 lb/gal

Since 0.297 lb/gal = 0.3  lb/gal · 0.99

we can write for the second minute:

0.3  lb/gal · 0.99 · 0.99 = 0.29403 lb/gal

And for the third minute:

0.3  lb/gal · 0.99 · 0.99 · 0.99 = 0.2910897 lb/gal

And for the nth minute:

0.3 lb/gal · 0.99ⁿ = concentration of the solution after n minutes

Now, we can find the concentration of the solution after 90 min:

0.300 lb/gal · 0.99^90 = 0.121 lb/gal

The mass of NaCl after 90 minutes will be:

0.121 lb/gal · 500 gal = 60.5 lb

Periods on the periodic table represent elements ______.
hoa [83]

Answer:

B:with increase in number of valence electrons

Explanation:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

A student has a piece of aluminum metal. Which is the most reasonable assumption the student could make about the metal?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Aluminium belongs to 13th group of periodic table. It undergoes oxidation to given Al^+3 .

It is observed that when aluminium is added to a solution of copper sulphate the colour of the solution changes from blue to grey. It is due to formation of grey coloured solution of aluminium sulphate as

2Al^+3  + 3SO4^-2  ---> Al2(SO4)3

True or false
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

True.

But it only changes in physical change.

How?

Explanation:

The chemical reaction produces a new substance with new and different physical and chemical properties. Matter is never destroyed or created in chemical reactions. The particles of one substance are rearranged to form a new substance.

In a physical change, a substance's physical properties may change.

A chemical change is a permanent change. A Physical change affects only physical properties i.e. shape, size, etc. ... Some examples of physical change are freezing of water, melting of wax, boiling of water, etc. A few examples of chemical change are digestion of food, burning of coal, rusting, etc.

Hope this helps!
