Solve the following using Python:
Initially, a prescription drug (200 mg) is in the blood (5 liters). The drug leaves the blood by entering a tissue region (8 liters) where the drug is metabolized (disappears) at a first order rate with k =0.01 min-1.There is no reaction of the drug in the blood. The transport coefficient of the drug (kC,drug) for the blood/tissue interface is 0.80 cm/min (i.e. it absorbs rapidly) and the transport area is 100 cm2. The drug can transport between both regions (not just one way). You may assume the tissue and blood regions are well-mixed (i.e. drug diffuses rapidly within each region) and that each region is constant volume.
How long does it take for 90% of the drug to disappear from the blood?
Answer: 338 min
