If 10 kg of rock salt is placed in water, it dissolves at a rate proportional to theamount of salt still undissolved. If 2kg dissolve during the first 10 minutes, how long will it be until only 2kg remain undissolved?

In the tank of 143 liters of brine containing 50kg totally dissolved salt. Pure water is allowed to run into the tank at the rate of 3 liters per minute. Brine runs out of the tank at rate of 2 liters minute. The instantaneous concentration in the tank is kept uniform by stirring. How much salt is in the tank at the end of 1 hour?

A sample of water (2 Hydrogens and one oxygen in each molecule) has a mass of 10.0 grams. What is the number of molecules of water in the 10.0 gram sample (Atomic mass in amu: H = 1, O = 16)?
