(10 points) A water tower containing 4,000m3 of water has been taken out of service for
installation of a chlorine monitor. The concentration of chlorine in the water tower was 2.0mgL
when the tower was taken out of service. If the chlorine decays by first-order kinetics with a rate
constant k=1.0d-1(Grayman and Clark, 1993), what is the chlorine concentration when the tank
is put back in service 8 hours later? What mass of chlorine (in kg ) must be added to the tank to
raise the chlorine level back to 2.0mgL? Although it is not completely mixed, you may assume
the tank is a completely mixed batch reactor.
