Consider a well-mixed tank filled with 200 L of liquid containing a chemical A at the concentration of 4 mol/L which decomposes following a first order kinetics RA=k.CA with a rate constant of k=0.05 min-1 . At t=0 an outlet stream starts to leave the tank with the flow rate of 5 L/min. After the liquid level falls to the half of the initial level, an inlet stream with CA=4 mol/L starts entering the tank at a flow rate of 5 L/min. Calculate the outlet stream concentration 30 minutes after the start of the operation.
