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

In science class, Priscilla heats water and measures the temperature of the water every 2 minutes\or data are shown in the table
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

  37.5 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature appears to be increasing linearly at the rate of 5 °C in 2 minutes, or 2.5 °C per minute.

1 minute after 4 minutes, when the temperature is 35 °C, we expect it to be 2.5 °C higher, or 37.5 °C.

Jeffrey calculated the slope between two pairs of points. He found that the slope between -5, 6 and -3, 2 is -2. He also found t
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Jeffrey is correct

All of these points are on the same line because the slope between (-3,2) and( 0,-4), which are coordinates from each of the pairs above, is equal to -2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

step 1

Find the slope between -5, 6 and -3, 2

substitute the values in the formula

m=\frac{2-6}{-3+5}

m=\frac{-4}{2}=-2

step 2

Find the slope between (-1, -2) and (0, -4)

substitute the values in the formula

m=\frac{-4+2}{0+1}

m=\frac{-2}{1}=-2

step 3

Find the slope between (-3, 2) and (0, -4)

substitute the values in the formula

m=\frac{-4-2}{0+3}

m=\frac{-6}{3}=-2

therefore

Jeffrey is correct

All of these points are on the same line because the slope between (-3,2) and( 0,-4), which are coordinates from each of the pairs above, is equal to -2
