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.
