An unknown inorganic phosphate undergoes first-order dehydration in a drying oven. Initially, the excess water content is measured to be 1.13 mg. After 2.10 days the water content is reduced to 0.488 mg. After 4.40 days, water content is only 0.194 mg. Determine the half-life of hydration under these conditions.

phenol, atrazine, lindane, 2,4-D are found in a groundwater plume where the goal is to use a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) to remove them. The linear groundwater velocity is 0.25 ft/day. The compounds are all expect to degrade with the first order rate constant of 0.0015/h. If the starting concentrations are all at 150 mg/L, what is the anticipated concentration after passing through a PRB with a 4 foot wide zero valent iron media that is anticipated to promote the reduction of these chemicals? Assume a temperature of 25 C.

I'm not really sure how to approach this problem. I thought you could substitute the half life equation into the integrated equation for first order reactions, but that didn't work.
