A tank contains 90 kg of salt and 2000 L of water. Pure water enters a tank at the rate 6 L/min. The solution is mixed and drain
sashaice [31]

Answer:

a) 90 kg

b) 68.4 kg

c) 0 kg/L

Explanation:

Mass balance:

-w=\frac{dm}{dt}

w is the mass flow

m is the mass of salt

-v*C=\frac{dm}{dt}

v is the volume flow

C is the concentration

C=\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}

-v*\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}

-3*L/min*\frac{m}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}

-3*L/min*\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{m}

-3*L/min*\int_{0}^{t}\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\int_{90kg}^{m}\frac{dm}{m}

-[ln(2000L+3*L/min*t)-ln(2000L)]=ln(m)-ln(90kg)

-ln[(2000L+3*L/min*t)/2000L]=ln(m/90kg)

m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*t)]

a) Initially: t=0

m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*0)]=90kg

b) t=210 min (3.5 hr)

m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*210min)]=68.4kg

c) If time trends to infinity the  division trends to 0 and, therefore, m trends to 0. So, the concentration at infinit time is 0 kg/L.

What is the total number of outer (valence) electrons in carbon dioxide, co2? answer?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Carbon dioxide has a total of 16 valence electrons.

1. To determine the number of valence electrons of carbon dioxide (CO2), first determine the number of valence electrons of each of the elements in the molecule. 

a. We have 1 carbon (C) molecule, and 2 oxygen (O) molecules. 

b. The carbon molecule has 4 valence electrons and each oxygen molecule has 6 oxygen molecules. 

2. Add up the valence electrons of each of the elements

   4            +          (2 x 6)      = 16
(from C)           (2 oxygen molecules, with 6 valence electrons each)

Thus, CO2 has a total of 16 valence electrons. 

The number of valence electrons can be more clearly seen from the Lewis structure of the CO2 in the figure below (Source: http://chemistry.tutorvista.com/inorganic-chemistry/bonding-electrons.html). The the dots surrounding the letters represent the valence electrons.

Would nitrogen gas be a mineral if it has a chemical formula of n2?
STALIN [3.7K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Nitrogen gas be a mineral only, if it is in organic forms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Most of the forms of organic nitrogen is not be taken by plants, with the exception in the form of small organic molecules. Also plants can promptly take the nitrogen  when it is in other forms like ammonia and nitrate.

The microorganisms  in the soil converts the organic forms of nitrogen to mineral form when they decompose organic matters and  also fresh plant residues. This type of process is called mineralisation.
