Question: In the closed system with multi - phases ( air , water, suspended solid, sedimented solid, and biota phases ) , 0 . 0 0

In the closed system with multi-phases (air, water, suspended solid,
sedimented solid, and biota phases),0.001 mole of toluene is added and then
the system reaches to equilibrium. The volume of air phase (V-air) is 10L;
the volume of water-phase (V-water) is 1000L; the mass of suspended solid
phase (m-ss) is 10g; the mass of sedimented solid phase is 100g; the volume
of biota (fish) is 10L, the volumetric fraction of fat in fish is 1%. The
dimensionless Henry's constant (KH) is 0.2857. Toluene sorption onto
suspended solid follows linear distribution model with KD-SS=100gL, and
toluene sorption onto sedimented solid follows linear distribution model with
KD-sed=10gL. The volume of biota-phase (fish) is 10L, and the volume of fat in biota-phase is 1%(vol/vol). Toluene partitioning coefficient (Kp)
between fat and water phase is 100000(L/L).
(1) Calculate water-phase toluene at equilibrium (C-water) using material
balance.
(2) Compare toluene amounts distributed in different phases.
(3) Identify in which phase toluene is the most accumulated.
In the closed system with multi - phases ( air ,
