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r at a rate of 5 gal/min and the container content, which is kept uniform by mixing, is also withdrawn out of the container at 5 gal/min.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

To convert from mass of X to liters of Y in any stoichiometry problem, the following steps must be followed
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

A. mass X to moles X to moles Y to liters Y

Explanation:

Remember: moles are the great converter. They're basically just a made-up concept meant to facilitate conversions!

Starting with mass X, you must then convert to moles X.

Once you have moles X, convert  moles Y. Think of a chemical equation: the mole ratios are the coefficients!

Once you have moles Y, all you have to do is convert to liters Y. You can do this with the molarity equation M = mol/L, or if it's a gas at STP you know the conversion!

Consider two different containers, each filled with 2 moles of Ne(g). One of the containers is rigid and has constant volume. Th
zysi [14]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

For the ideal gas law (PV = nRT), we can notice that when the temperatures increases, the pressure or the volume must increase.

For the container with constant volume, the pressure will increase. Because density is mass/volume, in this container the density will not change.

For the other container, the pressure must be the same as the external, so it will not change, then the volume must increase. When the volume increases, the density decreases (density = mass/volume), so the pressure doesn't change and the density decreases.
