You know from previous study that this pesticide degrades via a first order, irreversible reaction. The first order rate constant (k) for the reaction at 4 °C is 0.02 day¹. The activation energy for the reaction is known to be 10 kcal/mol. The standard preservation method for water samples containing this pesticide is to store the sample at 4 °C for no more than 24 hours prior to analysis. Calculate the fraction of the pesticide that remains in the sample after 24 hours of storage at 4 °C. b. A newly hired staff member collects a sample of the water but forgets to store it at 4 °C. Instead, they leave the sample in the trunk of their car (average temperature 35 °C) over the weekend. 60 hours later the sample is analyzed and found to contain 0.01 mg/L of the pesticide.
