A river is carrying water containing 2000 mg/l Magnesium Chloride into a small lake. The lake has a naturally occurring Magnesium Chloride of 50 mg/l. If the river flow is 2500 Lmin and the lake flow rate is 1.5 m³.sec¹, what is the concentration of MgCl2 in the lake after the discharge point? Assume that the flows in the river and lake are completely mixed, that the salt is a conservative substance, and the system is at steady state.
