    The document presents the solution to a differential equation modeling the concentration W of a substance as a function of time t. It derives an exponential function for W(t)=100(1-e-kt), where k is the rate constant. It then uses the initial conditions that at t=0, W=0 and at t=5 minutes, W=30 to calculate k=0.071 to 2 significant figures.

    =k ( 100)
    100

    Intergrating both sides wrt t,

    1
    100 dt=

    1
    i.e., 100 dW =

    -in|100-W|= kt+C
    In|100-W|= -kt c
    100-W=
    W=100+ (A= )
    At t = 0,W =0,
    So 0= 100 + 0 and A = - 100
    Hence
    W(t) =100(1- )
    (d) find k to two significant figures
    30 words in the first 5 minutes
    At = 5,W=30
    So 30 =100 - 100 5
    5 =70/100
    -5k =in (7/10)

    K=1/5 in (7/10) =0.071 (2st)
