Assignment:
After applying 2,4-D to turf, an experiment was conducted measuring the concentration of 2,4-D that was present over time. The 2,4-D concentration was 80 ppm on day zero, 45 ppm on day 14, and 6 ppm on day 56.
a. Do a first order kinetic plot to determine the rate constant for the disappearance of 2,4-D.
b. What is the half life for disappearance of 2,4-D in this experiment?
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
