The decomposition in water of an insecticide used for mosquito control follows first order kinetics irate constant of 1.45 years-1 at 10 degrees Celsius. Summertime spraying near a small Lake results in a lake concentration of 5.0 times 10-7 M for the insecticide.Â
Â
a.) Assuming the average temperature of the lake is 10 degrees Celsius and no more insecticide enters the lake what would be the lake concentration of the insecticide after one year?
Â
b.) How long will it take for the insecticide concentration in the lake to drop to 3.0 * 10-7 M?
Â
c.) what is the half life, t1/2, for the decomposition of the insecticide?
