For many years, a flow polluted with Chemical Z was discharged to a local channel (cross-section shown above). You are part of the clean-up team that will take out the pipe and remove contaminated sand from the bottom of the channel. You measure the water concentrations C1 and C2 and find them to both be 10 mg/L. Lab testing finds that Chemical Z does adsorb to soil according to the following Freundlich parameters. If you were to take a sample of the soil at point S, what "concentration" of Chemical Z (in g/g) would you expect to find in your sampliE? (Enter 4 decimals in your answer.) K = 0.015, 1/n 0.23 %3D

4. The Rappahannock River near Warrenton, VA, has a flow rate of 3.00 m3/s. Tin Pot Run (a pristine stream) discharges into the Rappahannock at a flow rate of 0.05 m3/s. To study mixing of the stream and river, a conservative tracer is to be added to Tin Pot Run. If the instruments that can measure the tracer can detect a concentration of 1.0 mg/L, what minimum concentration must be achieved in Tin Pot Run so that 1.0 mg/L of tracer can be measured after the river and stream mix? Assume that the 1.0 mg/L of tracer is to be measured after complete mixing of the stream and Rappahannock has been achieved and that no tracer is in Tin Pot Run or the Rappahannock above the point where the two streams mix. What mass rate (kg/d) of tracer must be added to Tin Pot Run?
