A toxic pollutant with an initial concentration 598.08 is being treated in a batch reactor. Unfortunately, we were unable to as certain whether the substance degrades via first order or second order reaction. If the goal is to reduce the concentration by 95%, determine the number of days............... for 1 order deacy and the number of days ...............for 2nd order decay to reach the target effluent concentration: The reaction rate constant for the first and second order reaction are 0.5 d(-1) and 0.5x10(-3) mg(-1)d(-1) respectively.
