Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If a chemical with a K_oc value of 3 is added to a soil with a water volume of 500 m^3, and you start with 200 kg of the chemical, how much would be expected to partition into the soil and water?
💡 Hint: Use the mass balance and K_oc relationship for contaminants.
Evaluate the environmental impact when 100 kg of a pollutant is released into an area where the moisture content is estimated at 0.25. Determine the total water mass in the soil if the dry mass is 400 kg.
💡 Hint: Apply moisture content definitions directly.
