A brine solution of salt flows at a constant rate of 8L/min into a large tank that initially held 100L of brine solution in whic

h was dissolved 0.5kg of salt. The solution inside the tank is kept well stirred and flows out of the tank at the same rate. If the concentration of salt in the brine entering the tank is 0.05kg/L, determine the mass of salt in the tank after t minutes. When will the concentration of salt in the tank reach 0.02kg/L?

Answer:

The mass of salt in the tank after t minutes is

y(t) = 5-4.5e^{-\frac{2t}{25}}

The concentration of salt in the tank reach 0.02 kg/L when t=-\frac{25\ln \left(\frac{83}{75}\right)}{2} \approx -1.2669

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>y(t)</em> be the mass of salt (in kg) that is in the tank at any time, <em>t</em> (in minutes).

The main equation that we will be using to model this mixing process is:

Rate of change of \frac{dy}{dt} = Rate of salt in - Rate of salt out

We need to determine the rate at which salts enters the tank. From the information given we know:

  • The brine flows into the tank at a rate of 8\:\frac{L}{min}
  • The concentration of salt in the brine entering the tank is 0.05\:\frac{kg}{L}

The Rate of salt in = (flow rate of liquid entering) x (concentration of salt in liquid entering)

(8\:\frac{L}{min}) \cdot (0.05\:\frac{kg}{L})=0.4 \:\frac{kg}{min}

Next, we need to determine the output rate of salt from the tank.

The Rate of salt out = (flow rate of liquid exiting) x (concentration of salt in liquid exiting)

The concentration of salt in any part of the tank at time <em>t</em> is just <em>y(t) </em>divided by the volume. From the information given we know:

The tank initially contains 100 L and the rate of flow into the tank is the same as the rate of flow out.

(8\:\frac{L}{min}) \cdot (\frac{y(t)}{100} \:\frac{kg}{L})= \frac{2y(t)}{25} \:\frac{kg}{min}

At time t = 0, there is 0.5 kg of salt, so the initial condition is y(0) = 0.5. And the mathematical model for the mixing process is

\frac{dy}{dt}=0.4-\frac{2y(t)}{25}, \quad{y(0)=0.5}

\frac{dy}{dt}=0.4-\frac{2y(t)}{25}\\\\\mathrm{Rewrite\:in\:the\:form\:of\:a\:first\:order\:separable\:ODE}\\\\ \frac{1}{2}\frac{dy}{5-y}=\frac{1}{25}dt \\\\\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{dy}{5-y}=\int \frac{1}{25}dt\\\\\frac{1}{2}\left(-\ln \left|5-y\right|+C\right)=\frac{1}{25}t+C\\\\-\frac{1}{2}\ln \left|5-y\right|+C_1\right)=\frac{1}{25}t+C\\\\-\frac{1}{2}\ln \left|5-y\right|=\frac{1}{25}t+C_2\\\\5-y=C_3e^{-\frac{2t}{25} }\\\\y(t) =5-C_3e^{-\frac{2t}{25} }

Using the initial condition y(0)=0.5

y(t) =5-C_3e^{-\frac{2t}{25} }\\y(0)=0.5=5-C_3e^{-\frac{2(0)}{25}} \\C_3=4.5

The mass of salt in the tank after t minutes is

y(t) = 5-4.5e^{-\frac{2t}{25}}

To determine when the concentration of salt is 0.02 kg/L, we solve for <em>t</em>

y(t) = 5-4.5e^{-\frac{2t}{25}}\\\\0.02=5-4.5e^{-\frac{2t}{25}}\\\\5\cdot \:100-4.5e^{-\frac{2t}{25}}\cdot \:100=0.02\cdot \:100\\\\500-450e^{-\frac{2t}{25}}=2\\\\500-450e^{-\frac{2t}{25}}-500=2-500\\\\-450e^{-\frac{2t}{25}}=-498\\\\e^{-\frac{2t}{25}}=\frac{83}{75}\\\\\ln \left(e^{-\frac{2t}{25}}\right)=\ln \left(\frac{83}{75}\right)\\\\\frac{2t}{25}=\ln \left(\frac{83}{75}\right)\\\\t=-\frac{25\ln \left(\frac{83}{75}\right)}{2} \approx -1.2669

Answer:

C - $8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure if you divide 3.75 by 3 you will get the amount of $ for a bag of soil which is around $1.25/per bag. And then if you multiple $1.25 for 7 bags you will get $8.75

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!! The coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral JKLM are J(-3,2), K(4,-1), L(2,-5) and M(-5,-2). Find th
irinina [24]
Answer:
JKLM is a parallelogram
Explanation:
The slope m of a line through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)is given by the formula:
m=Δy/Δx=y2-y1/x2-x1
So the slopes of the sides of our quadrilateral are:
mJK=(−1)−24−(−3)=−37
mKL=(−5)−(−1)2−4=2
mLM=(−2)−(−5)−5−2=−37
mMJ=2−(−2)(−3)−(−5)=2
So JK is parallel to LM and KL is parallel to MJ
So JKLM is a parallelogram.

Dominos.com allows you to build your own pizza online, but it only reveals the price at the end of the process. Watch
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

Domino's waits to reveal the price until the end because, psychologically, you're predisposed to put & LEAVE more toppings on your pizza. If you see how each topping affects the price of the pizza each time you add one, you may limit the amount you choose. If you wait until the end to see it, by that point you think "Well I <em>need</em> these toppings on there to make it delicious." From a business standpoint, it's more financially beneficial to use the "hide the price until the end" system. However, from a consumer standpoint, most prefer seeing a live breakdown of how each topping affects the price so we can limit what we pay to a reasonable amount.

I hope this helps!
