If I accidentally release a quantity of chemical X in my secret underground lab such that its initial concentration is 1500 ppmv, how long do I have to wait before I can enter the lab again?

  42. 4) A tank with capacity 1000 liters is initially filled with 100 liters of fresh water. Salt water with a concentration of 6 grams of salt per liter is poured into the tank at a rate of 10 liters per minute. The well stirred mixture flows out of the tank at a rate of 5 liters per minute. Note that the volume of water in the tank will be increasing until the tank is full. What will the concentration of salt be at the moment the tank is full? We need to find a value for C. Use the initial value – x(0)=0 because we start with fresh water.

Here is our final formula for the amount of salt in the tank. Now we can answer the question – all we need now is to figure out when the tank is full, then plug that in for t.

Here is our final formula for the amount of salt in the tank. Now we can answer the question – all we need now is to figure out when the tank is full, then plug that in for t. Recall our formula for the amount of water in the tank, and set it to 1000 liters: Prepared by Vince Zaccone For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB
