It's a complete question. Everything is given here.

There is an accidental spill of sulfolane into a pond. Shortly after the spill the aqueous concentration is measured to be 2.5mg/L. A gas phase measurement found the sulfolane concentration to be 0.1ug/L in the air immediately adjacent to the pond. Sulfolane has the following properties at 25 C: molecular weight = 120.17 g mol'', pure liquid density = 1.261 g mL", water solubility = 1 x 10' g L", vapor pressure (p:*) = 0.827 Pa, log Kjaw = -3.67, log Kjow = -0.77, AHyap = 67.8 kJ mol!. 1) Assuming an outside temperature of 25C is the net flux of sulfolane from the pond to the air or visa-versa? (12 pts) AH/ 1 2) The evening temperatures are dropping to 5C. Use the following relationship to help determine the net direction of flux at this lower temperature: Kia (Tx) = Kia(Ti) e (T) with AH = Hial + RTave where R = 8.314 J/mol-K. You can approximate AHal AHyap. (12pts)
