In a batch process, the reaction takes place in the presence of an acid medium. The acid is drained from the reaction vessel at the rate of 15ml/s as a result of the density difference of the acid from the reacting component. To avoid wastage of acid, it is recycled to an acid tank which has 1000 L capacity. The acid drained from the reaction vessel, picks up 50 g/L solids from the reactor. Acid is fed once again to the process from acid tank. When the process is started, the acid is almost pure in the tank as a result of filtration. As the reaction proceeds, acid in the tank gets more and more contaminated with the solids. The concentration of the solids should not exceed 100 g/L from the process point of view. The batch time is 16h. Estimate whether the concentration of the solids will exceed 100g/L during the batch reaction.

By studying all following options, select a pair that uses most closely similar reasoning. a. Researchers have looked at the communication between different animals and found that meerkats have a series of alerts and calls that fail into two categories, greetings and alarms. Since we can be sure that this meerkat is not calling as a greeting, we must accept that he is attempting to raise the alarm. b. Farmers must choose between using organic or non-organic fertilisers on their land. Organic fertilisers can produce a lower crop yield and farmers may find it difficult to change to organic methods if they have been using non-organic methods for some time. Farmers should, therefore, consider the longer-term impacts of their decisions. c. Either young persons are getting cleverer each year or examinations are becoming easier for students to pass. Since there is very little evidence from IQ testing and other supposed benchmarks that young persons are more intelligent now than in the past, we must conclude that the examination system is easier for students today than it was in the past. d. Closed wood burning chulhas are a better way to cook your food than open fire chulhas. Closed wood burning chulhas are highly efficient, whereas the open fire of open fire chulhas loses a great deal of heat in the air. More people should, therefore, use closed wood burning chulhas in their homes.
Which statement is correct about weak acid? Statement 1: An acid that is completely ionized in water and thus produces a very small amount of hydrogen ions is called a weak acid.  Statement 2: Carbonic acid and sulfurous acid are also strong acids.
