4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define partitioning in environmental science.
Think about where a chemical goes in an environmental scenario.
What does K_oc indicate?
Consider what happens when chemicals are mixed with soil.
What does K_oc stand for?
Think about its role in understanding contaminant behaviors.
True or False: Higher K_oc values indicate a greater preference for water over soil.
Consider what K_oc measures.
A river is contaminated with 150 kg of a chemical with a K_oc of 2.5. Calculate how much of the chemical would be found in the water and soil, assuming maximum solubility in the water is 5 kg.
Focus on the solubility limit for the water.
Evaluate the implications of not considering undissolved chemicals when calculating mass balance in an environmental spill scenario.
Think about what 'total mass' might include in this context.
