Problem
Confined disposal facilities (CDFs) are storage facilities for contaminated sediments. Being exposed to air, the contaminated sediment is a source of VOCs to the atmosphere. Consider a two-compartment evaluative environment of volume 5 × 105 m3, with the following volume fractions: air 60% and sediment 40%. Consider benzene for which K'aw = 557 Pa m3/mol and Ksw = 5 L/kg. If the temperature is 298 K, and the density of sediment is 1200 kg/m3, determine the mass fraction of benzene in air using the fugacity level I model.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
