Correct answers: [(a) 1.25 x 109 kg chemical/kg water, 14.45 x 109 kg chemical/kg sediment, 3.95 x 109 kg chemical/kg biota, (b) 0.02%, (c) 0.00006%, (d) 1.25 x 109 kg chemical/kg water] Answers without these as the final values will be downvoted! thank you

6. Environmental fate of gasoline substitutes The compound methyl-tert butyl ether (MTBE) has been used extensively as a gasoline additive. If 100kg of this compound were accidentally spilled into a lake over the course of a summer, calculate the concentrations in water, sediment, and fish (neglect volatilization) that would result. Assume that the volume of the lake is 8107 m3, the organic solids loading is 20ppm, and the fish loading is 2kg per 104m3. Assume that the lake is well mixed. a. What are the concentrations in water, sediment, and fish? b. What fraction of the MTBE would be found in the sediment? c. What fraction would be found in the fish? d. If you swallowed 1L of water during a day while waterskiing, how much MTBE would you ingest? Soil adsorption coefficient: 11.56L/kg Bioaccumulation factor: 3.162L/kg wet-wt
