A nitric acid solution flows at a constant rate of 6 L/min into a large tank that initially held 200 L of a 0.5% nitric acid sol

ution. The solution inside the tank is kept well stirred and flows out of the tank at a rate of 8 L/min. If the solution entering the tank is 20% nitric acid, determine the volume of nitric acid in the tank after t min. When will the percentage of nitric acid in the tank reach 10%?

Answer:

0.88 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x(t) be the volume of nitric acid  measured in liters after t minute. Therefore the rate of change in the volume of nitric acid (dx / dt) is:

dx / dt = rate of input of nitric acid - rate of output of nitric acid

rate of input of nitric acid = 6 L/min * 20% nitric acid / 100% solution = 1.2 L/min

rate of output of nitric acid = 8 L/min * x L / 200 L = 0.04x L/min

\frac{dx}{dt}=1.2-0.04x\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}+0.04x=1.2 \\\\The\ integrating\ factor(IF)=e^{\int\limits {0.04} \, dt }=e^{0.04t}\\\\multiply\ through\ by \ IF:\\\\e^{0.04t} \frac{dx}{t}+e^{0.04dt}(0.04x)=e^{0.04t}(1.2)\\\\integrating:xe^{0.04t}=1.2\int\limits e^{0.04t}dt\\\\xe^{0.04t}=30e^{0.04t}+C\\\\x(t)=30+Ce^{-0.04t}\\\\At\ t=0,x=1\\\\x(0)=30+Ce^{-0.04*0}\\\\1=30+C\\\\C=-29\\\\x(t)=30-29e^{-0.04t}\\\\At \ 10\%,x=10%\ of\ 200L=2\\\\2=30-29e^{-0.04t}\\\\29e^{-0.04t}=28\\\\

29e^{-0.04t}=28\\\\e^{-0.04t}=0.9655\\\\t=0.88\ s

The percentage of nitric acid in the tank reach 10% at 0.88 s

Solve the logarithmic equation: x= log5 (1/625)=
Verizon [17]
You can convert (1/625) to an exponent, and it would be ideal to have 5 as the base of it because you want your log base to cancel it out. what i usually do in this case is just test out 5^1, 5^2, etc until i find one that matches the number i need. in this case because the number you're trying to work with is a small fraction, you'll want to use NEGATIVE exponents so it'll create a fraction instead of a large whole number:

5^-1 = 1/5
. . . keep trying those. . .
5^-4 = 1/625

so, because they're equal to one another, it'll be waaay easier after you substitute 5^-4 in place of 1/625

x = log₅ 5⁻⁴

log base 5 of 5 simplifies to 1. subbing in the 5^-4 gets rid of the log for you altogether, and your -4 exponent drops down:

x = -4 is your answer

if the exponent dropping down doesn't make sense to you, you can think of it in another way:

x = log₅ 5⁻⁴

expand the expression so that the exponent moves in front of the log function:

x = (-4) log₅ 5

then, still, log base 5 of 5 simplifies to 1, so you're left with:

x = (-4)1 or x = -4
