Answer:
a) benzene = 910 days
b) toluene = 1612.67 days
Explanation:
Given:
Kd = 1.8 L/kg (benzene)
Kd = 3.3 L/kg (toluene)
psolid = solids density = 2.6 kg/L
K = 2.9x10⁻⁵m/s
pores = n = 0.37
water table = 0.4 m
ground water = 15 m
u = K/n = (2.9x10⁻⁵ * (0.4/15)) / 0.37 = 2.09x10⁻⁶m/s
a) For benzene:
The time will take will be:
b) For toluene:
