The decay of chlorine in a distribution system follows first order decay (kinetics) with a rate constant of 0.36 d. If the concentration of chlorine is a well-mixed water storage tank is 1.00 mg/L at time zero, what will the concentration be one day? Assume no water flows out of the tank. a. 0.360 mg/L c. 0.500 mg/L b. 0.368 mg/L d. 0.698 mg/L
