Question
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 solution inside the tank is kept well stirred and flows out of the tank at a rate of 3 L/min. 4 L/min 0.2 kg. of salt /L x (t) At t=0 100 L Pure water x(t) kg. of salt 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. = (100+t)/5-20(100)^5(100+t)^-5 3 L/min kg. When will the concentration of salt in the tank reach 0.1 kg/L? t₁ 12.246 minutes
