A tank contains 240 liters of fluid in which 10 grams of salt is dissolved. Brine containing 1 gram of salt per liter is then pu

mped into the tank at a rate of 6 L/min; the well-mixed solution is pumped out at the same rate. Find the number A(t) of grams of salt in the tank at time t.

Answer:

\boxed{240 - 230e^{-\frac{t}{40}}}

Explanation:

\text{Let A = mass of salt after t min}\\\text{and }r_{i} = \text{rate of salt coming into talk}\\\text{and }r_{o}$ =\text{rate of salt going out of tank}

1. Set up an expression for the rate of change of salt concentration.

\dfrac{\text{d}A}{\text{d}t} = r_{i} - r_{o}\\\\r_{i} = \dfrac{\text{6 L}}{\text{1 min}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 g}}{\text{1 L}} = \text{6 g/min}\\\\r_{o} = \dfrac{\text{6 L}}{\text{1 min}} \times \dfrac {A\text{ g}}{\text{240 L}} =\dfrac{x}{40}\text{ g/min}\\\\\dfrac{\text{d}A}{\text{d}t} = 6 - \dfrac{x}{40}

2. Integrate the expression

\dfrac{\text{d}A}{\text{d}t} = \dfrac{240 - x}{40}\\\\\dfrac{\text{d}A}{240 - A} = \dfrac{\text{d}t}{40}\\\\\int \frac{\text{d}A}{240 - A} = \int \frac{\text{d}t}{40}\\\\-\ln |240 - A| = \frac{t}{40} + C

3. Find the constant of integration

-\ln |240 - A| = \frac{t}{40} + C\\\\\text{At $t$ = 0, $A$ = 10, so}\\\\-\ln |240 - 10| = \frac{0}{40} + C\\\\C = -\ln 230

4. Solve for A as a function of time.

\text{The integrated rate expression is}-\ln |240 - A| = \frac{t}{40} - \ln 230\\\\\text{Solve for } A\\\\\ln|240 - A| = \ln 230 - \frac{t}{40}\\\\|240 - A| = 230e^{-\frac{t}{40}}\\\\240 - A = \pm 230e^{-\frac{t}{40}}\\\\x = 240 \pm 230e^{-\frac{t}{40}}\\\\A(0) = 10 \text{ so we choose the negative sign}\\\\x = \boxed{\mathbf{240 - 230e^{-\frac{t}{40}}}}

The diagram shows A as a function of time. The mass of salt in the tank starts at 10 g and increases asymptotically to 240 g.

Water molecules form hydrogen bonds to help in the process of water transport. Which property of water is described?
AlekseyPX
The property of water which is described in the lines above is <u>cohesion.
</u>It refers to the fact that water molecules stick to other water molecules, i. e. to themselves, as opposed to sticking to another material, which happens with adhesion. Water and capillaries don't have any connection.<u>

What is the volume of a balloon of gas at 842 mm Hg and -23° C, if its volume is 915 mL at a pressure of 1,170 mm Hg and a tempe
garik1379 [7]
Answer:
             V₂  =  1070 mL or 1.07 L

Solution:

Data Given;
                  P₁  =  1170 mmHg

                  V₁  =  915 mL

                  T₁  =  24 °C  +  273 K  =  297 K

                  P₂  =  842 mmHg

                  V₂  =  ?

                  T₂  =  - 23 °C  +  273 K  =  250 K

According to Ideal gas equation,

                       P₁ V₁ / T₁  =  P₂ V₂ / T₂

Solving for V₂,

                       V₂  =  P₁ V₁ T₂ / P₂ T₁

Putting Values,

                       V₂  = (1170 mmHg × 915 mL × 250 K) ÷ (842 mmHg × 297 K)

                       V₂  =  1070 mL or 1.07 L

What is the molarity of a 3.0-liter solution that contains 0.45 moles of solute
sergeinik [125]
Moles = n/v where n is the moles of solute and v being the liters of solution.
We can put in the information provided to find the molarity.

Moles = .45/3.0 = .15
So we now know that the molarity of that solution is .15!
 I hope I helped you :). Make sure to memorize that formula because it's not that hard as long as you know what to plug in.
