### Nitrification Process for Removing Ammonia from Wastewater**Nitrification** is a biological process used to remove ammonia (NH₃) from wastewater by converting it to ammonium (NH₄⁺). The chemical reaction involved in this process is as follows:\[ \text{NH}_4^+ + 2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{NO}_3^- + 2\text{H}^+ + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]The first-order rate constant \(k_1\) for this reaction is given by the equation:\[ k_1 = 0.47e^{0.095(T - 15^\circ\text{C})} \]where \(k_1\) is in day⁻¹ and T is in °C.If the initial concentration of NH₃ is 3.0 mol/m³, determine the time required to reduce the concentration to 0.80 mol/m³ under different temperature conditions.**Questions:**(a) **In the spring (T = 20°C)?**- Input Box for Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{days}} \](b) **In the winter (T = 10°C)?**- Input Box for Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{days}} \]
