Update: Chemical Problem (Chem A -> Chem B)
Input: 1L/min w/ concentration 20gA/L V (initial) = 50L w/ concentration 10gA / L Reaction: B = -(.08)gA (L/min) Output: (0.005)V (L/min)
There's a reaction in the tank where chemical A changes to chemical B.
How can I express this as an equation (i.e. overcome the fact that the output is a function of volume)?
Fast responses please! Roommate needs help and must sleep soon!

Umm... I think homework threads are closed on sigh but since I haven't seen one in a while I might be wrong.

haha, i think it's okay in the blog area but maybe i'm mistaken. in any case he's already gone to bed so i'm indifferent to the fate of this blog

in any case the important equation (regardless of what i wrote above, which may have been confused) boils down to
dA/dt = 10 - 0.085 / (50 + 9.915t) and i'll probably have it figured out soon to give him in the morning, but it's been a while for me so if anyone else solves this that would be wonderful

homework blogs are usually considered okay becuase they're in the blog section as long as the op/blog author shows that they put thought into the problem (they're not just asking for answers), and the blog author should also be a known contributor to the site.
That's of course subject to change, and the fact that I have no idea what the actual rules are, so take that with a grain of salt.
As for the actual problem, can't you just separate the variables and integrate, or am i missing something?

Never mind on all of this. Apparently the whole thing was a bit of a misunderstanding with the problem and it's cleared up now
