Atrazine is an herbicide widely used for corn and is a common groundwater pollutant in the corn-producing regions of the United

States. Use EPIWIN to find Koc for atrazine. Calculate the fraction of total atrazine that will be adsorbed to the soil given that the soil has an organic carbon content of 2.5%. The bulk density of the soil is 1.25 g/cm3 ; this means that each cubic centimeter of soil (soil plus water) contains 1.25 g of soil particles. The porosity of the soil is 0.4.

Answer:

0.94

Explanation:

Let's assume that the total sample of the soil is 1 cm³; which has a porosity of 0.4 cm³; then the original sample of the soil will be 0.6 cm³

The mass  of the soil particles in 1 cm³ of soil + water = 0.75 g

The fraction of the total atrazine can be calculated by the expression;

Total atrazine =C_w(\frac{g}{mL})*V_w(mL)+C_{(soil)}(\frac{g}{soil})*M_{(soil)}(gsoil)

Also; C_{(soil)}(\frac{g}{soil})= K_{oc}(\frac{mL}{gOC})*f_{oc} (\frac{gOC}{gsoil})*C_w(\frac{g}{mL})

NOTE THAT: K_{oc}( \frac{mL}{gOC})=K_{oc}\frac{L}{kgOC}

Total atrazine can now be calculated as:

C_w*0.4+K_{oc}f_{oc}C_w*0.75 = \frac{C_{soil}*M_{soil}}{Total atrazine}

=\frac{K_{oc}f_{oc}C_w*M_{soil}}{C_w*0.4+K_{oc}f_{oc}C_w*0.75} = \frac{0.75*K_{oc}f_{oc}}{0.4+K_{oc}f_{oc}*0.75}

= \frac{10^{2.52}*0.025*0.75}{0.4+10^{2.52}*0.025*0.75}

= 0.94

Thus,the fraction of total atrazine that will be adsorbed to the soil = 0.94.

What experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model
Yanka [14]
Rutherford’s experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model from the one before it . According to him , a few of the positive particles pointed at a gold foil appeared to ricochet back off of the light metallic foil. This experimental evidence gives the root the development of the atomic model .

Under which conditions would the solubility of a gas be greatest? high pressure and high temperature high pressure and low tempe
kiruha [24]

Option B: high pressure and low temperature

A gas is more soluble under high pressure and low temperature conditions.

On increasing temperature of a gas, its kinetic energy increases. The increase in kinetic energy increases the motion of particles of gas this causes most of the gaseous particles to escape from the gas phase. Thus, less particles are available to dissolve in liquid and solubility decreases.

The effect of pressure on solubility of gas can be explained with the help of Henry's law. According to the law, at constant temperature, solubility of gas and partial pressure of gas are related to each other as follows:

p=k_{h}c

Here, p is the partial pressure of the gas, k_{h} is Henry's law constant, and

c is the concentrate of the gas.

According to above relation, concentration of gas decreases on decreasing partial pressure. Thus, on increasing pressure,  concentration of gas increases this increases the solubility of gas in liquid.

Therefore, solubility of gas is greatest at high pressure and low temperature.
