(a) A tank contains 7000 L of pure water. Brine that contains 20 g of salt per liter of water is pumped into the tank at a rat of 25Lmin. Show that the concentration of salt t minutes later (in grams per liter) is
C(t)=20t280+t
After t minutes 25t liters of brine with 20 g of salt per liter has been pumped into the tank, so it contains
liters of water and grams of salt. Therefore, the salt concentration at time t will be the following.
C(t)=500t7000+25t=20t280+tgL
(b) What happens to the concentration as t?
limtC(t)=,gL
