Expert Solution
Step 1: Given and Formula

Given:

Mass of industrial waste = 60.1 g

mass per hours;(we know that 1 day = 24 hr)

Mass in hour = 60.1 g/ 24 hr

= 2.50 g/hr

Volume of pond = 300 m3

Half life period = 6.6 h

Mass out = 0

Equilibrium concentration C=?

Mass out due to sunlight  = k.CA.V -----(1)

Where K = rate constant

CA = Equilibrium concentration

V = Volume
