A 600-gal tank initially contains 100gal of brine containing 25 lb of salt. Brine containing 1 lb of salt per gallon enters the tank at a rate of 5 gal/s, and the well-mixed brine in the tank flows out at the rate of 3 gal/s. How much salt will the tank contain when it is full of brine?

Fluoridation of city water supplies has been practiced in the United States for several decades. It is done by continuously adding sodium fluoride to water as it comes from a reservoir. Assume you live in a medium-sized city of 150,000 people and that 660 L (170 gal) of water is used per person per day. What mass of sodium fluoride (in kilograms) must be added to the water supply each year (365 days) to have the required fluoride concentration of 1 ppm (part per million)that is, 1 kilogram of fluoride per 1 million kilograms of water? (Sodium fluoride is 45.0% fluoride, and water has a density of 1.00 g/cm3.)
Every pure substance has a definite and fixed set of physical and chemical properties. A solution is prepared by dissolving one pure substance in another. Is it reasonable to expect that the solution will also have a definite and fixed set of properties that are different from the properties of either component? Explain your answer.
A patient has a “cholesterol count” of 214. Like manyblood-chemistry measurements,this result is measured inunits of milligrams per deciliter (mgdL1). Determine the molar concentration of cholesterol inthis patient’s blood, taking the molar mass of cholesterolto be 386.64gmol1. Estimate the molality of cholesterol in the patient’sblood. If 214 is a typical cholesterol reading among men inthe United States, determine the volume of such bloodrequired to furnish 8.10 g of cholesterol.
A student weighs out a 4.80-g sample of aluminum bromide, transfers it to a 100-mL volumetric flask, adds enough water to dissolve it, and then adds water to the 100-mL mark. What is the molarity of aluminum bromide in the resulting solution?
Classify each of the following solutions as saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated based on the following observations made after adding a small piece of solid solute to the solution. a. The added solute rapidly dissolves. b. The added solute falls to the bottom of the container where it remains without any decrease in size. c. The added solute falls to the bottom of the container where it decreases in size for several hours and thereafter its size remains constant. d. The added solute causes the production of a large amount of solid white crystals.
Silver ions can be found in some of the city water piped into homes. The average concentration of silver ions in city water is 0.028 ppm. (a) How many milligrams of silver ions would you ingest daily if you drank eight glasses (eight oz/glass) of city water daily? (b) How many liters of city water are required to recover 1.00 g of silver chemically?
According to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?
For each of the following pairs of solutions, select the solution for which solute solubility is greatest. a.

Table salt in water with P = 1 atm and T = 60C Table salt in water with P = 1 atm and T = 50C d. Table sugar in water with P = 2 atm and T = 40C Table sugar in water with P = 1 atm and T = 70C
What mass of a 4.00% NaOH solution by mass contains 15.0 g of NaOH?
A chemistry student is given 1.00 L of a clear aqueous solution at 17 degrees Celsius. He is told an unknown amount of a certain compound X is dissolved in the solution. The student allows the solution to cool to 17 degrees Celsius. The solution remains clear. He then evaporates all of the water under vacuum. A precipitate remains. The student washes, dries and weighs the precipitate. It weighs 0.12 kg. Using only the information above, can you calculate the solubility of X in water at 17° C? If you said yes, calculate it and be sure your answer has a unit symbol and 2 significant digits.
A technician was analysing some waste water from an industrial plant. He collected 500 mL of the water and separated it into two 250 mL samples. He filtered one sample and evaporated the water from the other one. He weighed the dried solid residue from each sample. He found that the mass of solid from the filtered sample was 40 g and the mass from the evaporated sample was 55 g. What mass of soluble and insoluble material was in 1 L of the waste water?
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.
