Expert Solution

        1,000,000 gallons of water      =    3785411.78 L

at pH = 4.45 ,   [H3O+] = 10^-pH = 10^-4.45 = 3.55*10^-5 M

      at pH = 7.8 , [H3O+] = 10^-pH = 10^-7.8 = 1.585*10^-8 M

the concentration of [H3O+] reduced = (3.55*10^-5)-(1.585*10^-8 ) = 3.548415*10^-5 M

   concentration of [OH-] needed = 3.548415*10^-5 M

    concentration of NaOH needed =   3.548415*10^-5 = W/mwt*1/V

                                                3.548415*10^-5 = (w/40)*(1/3785411.78)

amount of NaOH needed = 5372.9 g

                                                  = 11.845 pound

Suppose that a large mixing tank initially holds 400 gallons of water in which 65 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Another brine solution is pumped into the tank at a rate of 6 gal/min, and when the solution is well stirred, it is pumped out at a slower rate of 5 gal/min. If the concentration of the solution entering is 3 lb/gal, find the amount of salt in the tank after 10 minutes. PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK AND USE...
