Asked by Maria
the concentration of a chemical degrades in water according to order kinetics. the degradation constant is 0.2 day^-1. if the initial concentration is 100.0 mg/L, how may days are required for the concentration to reach 0.14 mg/L?

You didn't post the order.

You still didn't post the order. If we assume first order (a guess on my part) then
k = 0.693/t<sub>1/2</sub>
k = 0.693/0.2 = ??
ln(No/N) = kt
No = 100.0 mg/L
N =0.14 mg/L
k = from above.
t = unknown
Solve for t in days.
k = 0.693/t<sub>1/2</sub>
k = 0.693/0.2 = ??
ln(No/N) = kt
No = 100.0 mg/L
N =0.14 mg/L
k = from above.
t = unknown
Solve for t in days.

the answer should be 32.9 days...but im not getting tht
Answered by

problem was it should be ln(N/No)=kt
thx tho DrBob222

dC/dt = - k Cln(C/Co) = - ktt = - ln(0.14/100) / 0.2 = 32.9 days

sorry this one written better
