The air in a small room 12ft by 8ft by 8ft is 3% carbon monoxide. starting at t=0, fresh air containing no carbon monoxide is blown into the room at a rate of 100ft cubed/min. if air in the room flows out through aa vent at the same rate, when will the air in the room be 0.01% carbon monoxide?

The air in the room at 0.01% carbon monoxide at 43.8 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be the volume of CO in the room at time t, be v(t)  and  the total volume of the room be V. The volume percent of CO in the room at a given time is then given by:

Volume percent is the measure of concentration used in this problem. The "Amount" of CO in the room is then measured in terms of the volume of CO in the room.

Let the rate at which fresh air enters the room be f, which is the same as the rate at which air exits the room. We assume that the air in the room mixes instantaneously with the air entering the room, so that the concentration of CO is uniform throughout the room.

As you wrote, the rate at which the volume of CO in the room changes with time is given by

This is a simple first-order equation:

where ln(c) is the constant of integration.

ln

In terms of volume percent,

where C = 100*\frac{c}{V} is just another way of writing the constant.

Plugging in the values for the constants, we get:

Now use the initial condition (p(0) = 3% at t = 0) to solve for C:

3% = C

To find the time when the air in the room reaches a certain value, it is easier to rewrite this solution as:

The question asks when p(t) = 0.01%. Plugging this into the above equation, we get:

costs the what? what is the cost of the pants?

step-by-step explanation:

if it is $10, then the price is 14.

take 40% of the cost, and then add the cost.

40% of 10 = 4

4+10 = 14.
