A compound dissolves in water at a rate proportional to the product of the amount undissolved and the difference between the concentration in a saturated solution and the concentration in the actual solution at any time. A saturated solution of compound contains 40 g/100 g H2O. In a test run starting with 20 kg of undissolved compound in 100 kg of pure compound is found that 5 kg is dissolved in 3 hr. If the test continues, how many kilograms of compound will remain undissolved after 7 hr? Assume that the system is isothermal. Solution containing undissolved compound Figure 4

Transcribed Image Text:A compound dissolves in water at a rate proportional to the product of the amount undissolved
and the difference between the concentration in a saturated solution and the concentration in
the actual solution at any time. A saturated solution of compound contains 40 g/100 g H2O. In
a test run starting with 20 kg of undissolved compound in 100 kg of pure compound is found
that 5 kg is dissolved in 3 hr. If the test continues, how many kilograms of compound will
remain undissolved after 7 hr? Assume that the system is isothermal.
