Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 10P
Concentration data were taken at 15 time points for the polymerization reaction
We assume the reaction occurs via a complex mechanism consisting of many steps. Several models have been hypothesized and the sum of the squares of the residuals had been calculated for the fits of the models of these data. The results are shown below. Which model best describe these data (statistically)? Explain your choice.
| Model A | Model B | Model C | |
|
|
135 | 105 | 100 |
| Number of model parameters fit |
2 | 3 | 5 |

6. Modelling. Suppose that we have two tanks (A and B) between which a mixture of brine
flows. Tank A contains 200 liters of water in which 50 kilograms of salt has been dissolved
and Tank B contains 100 liters of pure water. Water containing 1kg of salt per liter is
pumped into Tank A at the rate of 5 liters per minute. Brine mixture is pumped into
Tank A from Tank B at the rate of 3 liters per minute and brine mixture is pumped from
Tank A into Tank B at the rate of 8 liters per minute. Brine is drained from Tank B at a
rate of 5 liters per minute.
(a) Draw and carefully label a picture of the situation, including both tanks and the flow
of brine between them.
