A nitric acid solution flows at a constant rate of 5L/min into a large tank that initially held 200L of a 0.5% nitric acid solut

ion. The solution inside the tank is kept well stirred and flows out of the tank at a rate of 10L/min. If the solution entering the tank is 10% nitric acid, determine the volume of nitric acid in the tank after t minutes.

Answer:

x(t) = −39e

−0.03t + 40.

Explanation:

Let V (t) be the volume of solution (water and

nitric acid) measured in liters after t minutes. Let x(t) be the volume of nitric acid

measured in liters after t minutes, and let c(t) be the concentration (by volume) of

nitric acid in solution after t minutes.

The volume of solution V (t) doesn’t change over time since the inflow and outflow

of solution is equal. Thus V = 200 L. The concentration of nitric acid c(t) is

c(t) = x(t)

V (t)

=

x(t)

200

.

We model this problem as

dx

dt = I(t) − O(t),

where I(t) is the input rate of nitric acid and O(t) is the output rate of nitric acid,

both measured in liters of nitric acid per minute. The input rate is

I(t) = 6 Lsol.

1 min

·

20 Lnit.

100 Lsol.

=

120 Lnit.

100 min

= 1.2 Lnit./min.

The output rate is

O(t) = (6 Lsol./min)c(t) = 6 Lsol.

1 min

·

x(t) Lnit.

200 Lsol.

=

3x(t) Lnit.

100 min

= 0.03 x(t) Lnit./min.

The equation is then

dx

dt = 1.2 − 0.03x,

or

dx

dt + 0.03x = 1.2, (1)

which is a linear equation. The initial condition condition is found in the following

way:

c(0) = 0.5% = 5 Lnit.

1000 Lsol.

=

x(0) Lnit.

200 Lsol.

.

Thus x(0) = 1.

In Eq. (1) we let P(t) = 0.03 and Q(t) = 1.2. The integrating factor for Eq. (1) is

µ(t) = exp Z

P(t) dt

= exp

0.03 Z

dt

= e

0.03t

.

The solution is

x(t) = 1

µ(t)

Z

µ(t)Q(t) dt + C

= Ce−0.03t + 1.2e

e

−0.03t

e

0.03t

= Ce−0.03t +

1.2

0.03

= Ce−0.03t + 40.

The constant is found using x(t) = 1:

x(0) = Ce−0.03(0) + 40 = C + 40 = 1.

Thus C = −39, and the solution is

x(t) = −39e

−0.03t + 40.

saw5 [17]
B is true because liquids are still more compact than gases, although they are loose, they aren't completely free. They also don't have a definite volume, making them assume the shape of their container. As for compression, liquids are harder to compress compared to gases.

Plete the following problems significant figures: 6 × 0.30<br>​
jeka57 [31]
6= Only the digits 1 and 6 are the actual measured values. Therefore we have only 2 significant figures.

0.3= Zeros used as placeholders are not significant. Zeros that come before non-zero integers are never significant. Example 5: The zeros in 098, 0.3, and 0.000000000389 are not significant because they are all in front of non-zero integers. c. If the zeros come after non-zero integers and are followed by a decimal point, the zeros are significant.

A trucker is driving from New Jersey to California to make a delivery of couches. He forgets to adjust the pressure of his tires
aniked [119]

Answer:

<u>Gay-Lussac's law.</u>

Explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac's pressure law, it states that the pressure of a given mass of gas is <em>directly</em> proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas, the assumption that the volume is kept constant.

Hence, the trucker's tires were blown up because they were under high pressure as he drove from New Jersey to California, as a result of this intense pressure the temperature of the air in the tires began to rise and it directly affected the pressure of the gas in the tires' tubes which also increased to a point that they ended up blowing out, obeying Gay-Lussac's law.
