Consider an organic compound DCB which is usually used as a disinfectant. Its molecular weight is 200gmol; its vapor pressure is 0.02atm at 25C and under this pressure its saturated water solubility is 5.010-4molL. In a lake, the measured concentration of DCB is 10ngL and its concentration in the air above the lake is 1ngL. Given that the wind speed above the lake is 20cms, what is the flux of DCB into or out of the lake? If the flow rate of DCB through the water surface keeps constant, how much is the evaporative half-life of DCB? The area of the lake is 100km2 and the average depth is 50m.
