Consider a mixing tank with a volume of 750 L working at steady state. A Feed stream enters and leaves the mixing tank at a flowrate of 20 L/min. If the input concentration (component of A in the Feed) changes from 50 g/L to 100 g/L, what is the concentration in the tank 2.5 minutes after the change (concentration in the tank before change is 50 g/L).

Expert Solution
Step 1

given = Volume = 750 L

concentration = 50 g/L

amount of A in tank = (750 L)(50g/L) = 37500 g
