A lake contains V = 2 x 1 0 5 m 3 of water and is fed by a river discharging Qupstream = 9 x

A lake contains V =2 x105 m3 of water and is fed by a river discharging Qupstream =9 x104 m3/year. Evaporation across the surface takes away Qevaporation =1 x104 m3/year, so that only Qdownstream =8 x104 m3/year exits the lake in the downstream stretch of the river. The upstream river is polluted, with concentration C =6.0 mg/L. Inside the lake, this pollutant decays with rate k =0.12/year. Find the steady-state concentration of the pollutant in the downstream.
in this question isnt the reaction ratte negative and since its decaying so another negative sign the net sign will be positive
