A room containing 1000 cubic feet of air is originally free of carbon monoxide. Beginning at time t=0 cigarette smoke containing 4 percent carbon monoxide is blown into the room at 0.1 ft^3/min, and the well-circulated mixture leaves the room at hte same rate. Find the time when the concentration of carbon monoxide in the room reaches 0.012 percent.
rate = rate in - rate out ?
the 4% carbon monoxide part is really throwing me off. i don't exactly know what to do with this number. but other than that, i should be alright.
CO enters : 0.04 x 0.1 OR 0.1, I'm not sure whether to factor in the 4% CO
CO leaves : 0.04 x 0.1 S(t)/1000 OR 0.1 s(t)/1000
i need to figure that part out.. after that, everything i can handle. can someone please help me with the 4% carbon monoxide part
