During pesticide application, 1 kg of hexa chloro benzene is accidentally applied to a 100 million L

Question:

During pesticide application, 1 kg of hexa chloro benzene is accidentally applied to a 100 million L pond. Assume the pond is well mixed and the sediment concentration in suspended solids=1000ppm with fraction of sediment organic carbon of c is 0.01and the total fish loading is 100g per 100 cubic meter. Use EPIWIN to get property data. Include summary from EPIWIN and structure of the compound in your report. When several values are reported for a given property, use the experimental data.
a) Estimate the amount of hexa chloro benzene that would be ingested if a person were to eat a 0.5 kg fish from the pond once.
b) Calculate the dose for a 50 kg adult female who drinks 2 L lake water per day and consumes 0.5kg fish per day that is caught from the lake. What percent of the total dose is from exposure to the water, and what percent is from exposure to the fish?
