Answer:
1.7 ppm
Explanation:
Original amount N' = 2.6 ppm
time to testing t = 24 hr
final amount N = 2.1 ppm
Using exponential inhibited decay, we have
N = N'e^(-kt)
Where
N is the new reading
N' is the original reading
t is the decay time
k is the decay constant
Substituting, we have
2.1 = 2.6 x e^(-k x 24)
2.1 = 2.6 x e^(-24k)
0.808 = e^(-24k)
We take the natural log of both sides of the equation
Ln 0.808 = Ln (e^(-24k))
-0.213 = - 24k
K = 0.213/24 = 0.00886
After 48 hrs, the reading of free chlorine will be
N = 2.6 x e^(-0.00886 x 48)
N = 2.6 x e^(-0.425)
N = 2.6 x 0.654
N = 1.7 ppm
What ever your demcial is move it to the left twice until there is no demcial like 9.8 move twice 980
