3. A mixer containing 100 gal of Na,SO4 solution (4 lbs of Na;S04 per gal) is attached to a reservoir containing a solution of 1 Ib of Na,SO4/gal. If the solution is pumped from the reservoir at the rate of 5 gal/min and the mixed solution runs out of the mixer at the rate of 5 gal/min, how long will it take to reduce the concentration of salt in the tank to 1/2 its original value?
