The continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is used to treat an industrial waste stream by a reaction which destroys the waste according to first-order kinetics. The reaction rate, k, is 0.216 day-1. The reactor volume is 500 m3, the volumetric flow rate at the inlet and outlet is 50 m3/day, and the inlet waste concentration is 100 mg/L. 

(a) What is the outlet concentration (mg/L) ?

(b) What is the retention time (days) in the CSTR?
