Chapter 11, Problem 11.49PAE
The rate of photodecomposition of the herbicide piclo- ram in aqueous systems was determined by exposure to sunlight for a number of days. One such experiment produced the following results. (Data from R.T. Hedlun and C.R. Youngson, “The Rates of Photodecomposition of Picloram in Aqueous Systems," Fate of Organic Pesticides in tbe Aquatic Environment, Advances in Chemistry Series, #111, American Chemical Society (1972), 159—172.)
| Exposure Time, t (days) | [Pidoram] |
(mol L_1)
