how can i calculate part a Concentrations of toxaphene in fish may impair human health and fish-eating birds (such as bald eagles) that feed onthe fish.(a) If the log of the octanol-water partition coefficient (log Kow) for toxaphene is assumed to be equal to 4.21, what isthe expected concentration of toxaphene in fish? (Assume that the equilibrium aqueous phase toxapheneconcentration is 100 ng/L.)(b) If it is assumed that an average person drinks 2 L untreated water daily and consumes 30 g of contaminated fish,what route of exposure (drinking water or eating fish) results in the greatest risk from toxaphene in 1 year?(c) What route of exposure is greatest for a higher-risk group that is assumed to consume 100 g fish per day?Support all of your answers with calculations. Assume the following correlation applies to toxaphene and our problem'sspecific fish:log BCF = 0.85 * log Kow - 0.07

Estimate the organic carbon partition coefficient Koc of benzene from (a) solubility and (b) logKow Solubility, S=1780 mg/L, and logKow=2.12. The equations are below: logKoc= -0.54*logS + 0.44 (S is in mole fraction) logKoc= 1.0*logKow – 0.21 Finally find BCF using logKoc value: logKoc= 0.681*logBCF + 1.963

As part of a lab exercise, your group was assigned an unknown compound X for which you had to determine its partition coefficient between an organic solvent and water. You dissolve and shake 4 grams of X in a mixture of 130 mL benzene and 100 mL of water. At the end, your group discovered that the benzene layer contained 0.5 g of X. Use the information provided to calculate for the partition coefficient. What can you say about the chemical nature of compound X?
