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 CA =?
Mass out due to sunlight = k.CA.V -----(1)
Where K = rate constant
CA = Equilibrium concentration
V = Volume
