The amount of oxygen in the flask through the intake tube illustrates proportions
The flask 99.35% will contain of oxygen after 5L have passed through the intake tube
<h3>How to calculate the percentage of oxygen?</h3>
To do this, we make use of the following representations
- P for the proportion of oxygen
- V for te volume of oxygen
- x for the proportion of oxygen in the flask after 5 L passed through
So. we have the following derivative
dP = dV - P * dV
Divide through by dV
dP/dV = 1 - P
Next, we set up the integral
Integrate both sides
Expand
-ln(|x - 1|) + ln(|0.04 - 1|) = 5
Evaluate the difference
-ln(|x - 1|) + ln(|-0.96|) = 5
Express as a fraction
ln(0.96/|x - 1|) = 5
Express both sides as exponents with a base of 2
e^ln(0.96/|x - 1|) = e^5
Solve for x
x = 1 - 0.96/e^5
Evaluate the difference
x = 0.9935
Express as percentage
x = 99.35%
Hence, the flask 99.35% will contain of oxygen after 5L have passed through the intake tube
