Leachate is produced when precipitation infiltrates a sanitary landfill, contacts the waste material, and percolates to the bottom of the stored waste. Assume 6 kg of benzene (C6H6) were placed in the landfill and dissolved in the 100,000 gallons of leachate produced in 1 year. What is the benzene concentration in the leachate in:

a) mg/L

b) ppbm

c) moles/L

A tank farm at a local chemical distribution facility is leaking and is contaminating the groundwater, causing a concentration directly beneath the site of 14.5 milligrams per liter (mg/L). The groundwater is flowing at the rate of 0.25 meters per day toward a public drinking water well one kilometer away. Preliminary measurements indicate that the chemical is subject to degradation in the aquifer with a half -life of 11 years. It also appears that there is a retardation factor in effect, whereby the rate at which the chemical flows is only half the rate of groundwater flow. To be conservative, assume the pollutant does not disperse within the aquifer, but merely flows along with it. The public well pumps 75,000 gallons of water per day, delivered to 50,000 customers.

How do you set this problem up?

What is given in the problem?

How do these factors relate to one another?
