Question: A stream containing 1 0 m g g a l of a radioactive fission product with a decay rate of 0 . 0 1 h

A stream containing 10mggal of a radioactive fission product with a decay rate of 0.01hr-1**Mf(where Mf is mass of fission product), is run into a holding tank at the rate of 100galhr for 24hr. An exit stream leaves the tank at 100galhr. Then both streams are shut off for 24hr. The initial concentration of the fission product was 2mggal and the initial volume in the tank is 10,000 gallons. Assume complete mixing in the tank and that the fission product does not affect the density of the solution. What is the concentration of fission product after 24 hours?
