Define mass concentration.
Think about how density is calculated.
What does a partition constant indicate?
Consider how chemicals behave in different environments.
What does mass concentration represent?
Consider the units of mass and volume.
True or False: A partition constant indicates the concentration of a chemical at equilibrium.
Remember the definition of equilibrium.
A pollutant with a partition constant of 10 between air and water is found in groundwater. If the concentration in air is 100 μg/m³, what is the equilibrium concentration in water?
Use the definition of partition constant.
