A strong acid resin is exchanging \(\mathrm{Ni}^{+2}\) and \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\). The column is \(100.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) long and is initially at \(\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{T}}=0.10\) eq/L with \(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{Ni}}=0.20\). At \(\mathrm{t}=0\), a feed with \(\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{T}}=5.1 \mathrm{eq} / \mathrm{L}\) and \(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{Ni}}=0.20\) is input. \(\mathrm{v}_{\text {super }}=15.0 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{min}\). Use ion movement theory to predict outlet concentration profile. Data: \(\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{RT}}=2.1, \varepsilon_{\mathrm{e}}=0.40, \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{DE}}=1.0\), and equilibrium data are in Table 20-5.
