A brine solution of salt flows at a constant rate of 4 L/min into a large tank that initially held 5 L of pure water. The solution inside the tank is kept well stirred and flows out of the tank at a rate of 2 L/min. If the concentration of salt in the brine entering the tank is 0.1 kg/L, determine (a) the mass and (b) the concentration of salt in the tank after 30 mins.
