A brine solution of salt flows at a constant rate of 4 L/min into a large tank that initially held 100 L of pure water. The solu

tion inside the tank is kept well stirred and flows out of the tank at a rate of 3 L/min. If the concentration of salt in the brine entering the tank is 0.2 kg/L, determine the mass of salt in the tank after t min. When will the concentration of salt in the tank reach 0.1 kg/L?

Answer:

a. m(t) = 26.67 - 26.67e^{-0.03t} b. 7.44 s

Step-by-step explanation:

a. If the concentration of salt in the brine entering the tank is 0.2 kg/L, determine the mass of salt in the tank after t min.

Let m(t) be the mass of salt in the tank at any time, t.

Now, since a brine solution flows in at a rate of 4 L/min and has a concentration of 0.2 kg/L, the mass flowing in per minute is m' = 4 L/min × 0.2 kg/L = 0.8 kg/min

Now, the concentration in the tank of volume 100 L at any time, t is m(t)/100 L. Since water flows out at a rate of 3 L/min, the mass flowing out per minute is

m(t)/100 × 3 L/min = 3m(t)/100 kg/min

Now the net rate of change of mass of salt in the tank per minute dm/dt = mass flowing in -mass flowing out

dm/dt = 0.8 kg/min - 3m(t)/100 kg/min

So, dm/dt = 0.8 - 0.03m(t)

The initial mass of salt entering m(0) = 0 kg

dm/dt = 0.8 - 0.03m(t)

separating the variables, we have

dm/[0.8 - 0.03m(t)] = dt

Integrating, we have

∫dm/[0.8 - 0.03m(t)] = ∫dt

-0.03/-0.03 × ∫dm/[0.8 - 0.03m(t)] = ∫dt

1/(-0.03)∫-0.03dm/[0.8 - 0.03m(t)] = ∫dt

-1/0.03㏑[0.8 - 0.03m(t)] = t + C

㏑[0.8 - 0.03m(t)] = -0.03t - 0.03C

㏑[0.8 - 0.03m(t)] = -0.03t + C'  (C'= -0.03C)

taking exponents of both sides, we have

0.8 - 0.03m(t) = e^{-0.03t + C'} \\0.8 - 0.03m(t) = e^{-0.03t}e^{C'}\\0.8 - 0.03m(t) = Ae^{-0.03t} A = e^{C'}\\0.03m(t) = 0.8 - Ae^{-0.03t}\\m(t) = 26.67 - \frac{A}{0.03} e^{-0.03t}\\when t = 0   \\m(0) = 0\\m(0) = 26.67 - \frac{A}{0.03} e^{-0.03(0)}\\\\0 = 26.67 - \frac{A}{0.03} e^{0}\\26.67 = \frac{A}{0.03} \\\frac{A}{0.03} = 26.67\\\frac{A}{0.03}  = 6.67\\A = 26.67 X 0.03\\A = 0.8\\m(t) = 26.67 - \frac{A}{0.03} e^{-0.03t}\\\\m(t) = 26.67 - \frac{0.8}{0.03} e^{-0.03t}\\

So, the mass of the salt after t min is

m(t) = 26.67 - 26.67e^{-0.03t}

b. When will the concentration of salt in the tank reach 0.1 kg/L?

When the concentration of the salt reaches 0.1 kg/L, m(t) = 0.1 kg/L

Solving the equation for t,

m(t) = 26.67 - 6.67e^{-0.03t}\\0.1 = 26.67 - 26.67e^{-0.03t}\\26.67e^{-0.03t} = 26.67 - 0.1\\26.67e^{-0.03t} = 26.57\\e^{-0.03t} = 26.56/26.67\\e^{-0.03t} = 0.9963\\

taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have

-0.03t = ㏑0.9963

-0.03t = -0.0038

t = -0.0038/-0.03

t = 0.124 min

t = 0.124 × 60 s

t = 7.44 s

PLZ HELP!!!!!! I THINK ITS TRUE BUT IM NOT SURE

Yes it is true! it is true because two different numbers go to the same number, if it was false it would have to be the one number to two different numbers.

Hope that made sense!

Answer:

Unlike fractions: Fractions with different denominators are called, unlike fractions.

In case of two equivalent fractions, the product of the numerator of one fraction and denominator of the second fraction is equal to the product of the denominator of the first fraction and numerator of the second fraction.

A fraction is said to be in form if its numerator and denominator are 5. To add or subtract like fractions, we add or subtract the keeping the same.
