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r at a rate of 5 gal/min and the container content, which is kept uniform by mixing, is also withdrawn out of the container at 5 gal/min.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

What is the freezing point of a solution containing 4.78 grams naphthalene (molar mass = 128.2 g/mol) dissolved in 32.0 grams pa
tester [92]
This is a freezing point depression problem, so it will use the equation:

ΔT = i Kf<span> m
</span>
i = 1 (naphthalene does not dissociate further when dissolved)
Kf = 7.10 C/m (a constant for paradichlorobenzene, which you'd be given)
m = moles of solute / kg of solvent; moles of solute = 4.78 / 128.2 = 0.0373; kg of solvent = 0.032; m = 0.0373 / 0.032 = <span>1.166m

</span>ΔT = 1 x 7.10 x 1.166 = 8.279 C

This means the normal freezing point of pure paradichlorobenzene is decreased by 8.279 C; the normal freezing point (again, something you'd be given) is 53.5 C, so the new freezing point would be 53.5 - 8.279 = 45.221 C.
