Neco Model Questions Vol1 2018 Chemistry Question 8
Practice objective / multiple choice question 8 from the 2018 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Chemistry examination.
A river with a flow rate of 200 m³ s\(^{-1}\) (phenol concentration negligible) receives a wastewater discharge of 5 m³ s\(^{-1}\) containing phenol at 500 mg L\(^{-1}\). After complete mixing, the phenol undergoes first‑order degradation with rate constant \(k = 0.1\ \text{day}^{-1}\). Calculate the phenol concentration (in µg L\(^{-1}\)) after the water has travelled for 2 days downstream, and state whether it complies with the WHO guideline limit of 10 µg L\(^{-1}\).
