Chemistry

Pure pools of benzo [a] pyren and p-xylene are found floating inthe Groundwater. What concentrations do you expect to finddissolved in the water directly belo the pools (mg/L and mM)? Whatconcentrations do you expect to find in the air above the pools?(mg/L and mM). Compare how two chemicals behave in the environment.Benzo a pyrene MW: 252.32 g/mol; Henry's law constnt= 2.4 x10^-6atm m^3/mol; Vapor pressure= 5.6 x10^-9 mmHg; Solubility=0.0038mg/L; Log Koc=5.60-6.29. For p-xylene MW=106.17 g/mol; Henrysconstant=0.0063 atm m^3/mol;Vapor pressure=8.763mmHg ; Solubiity=200 mg/L ; Log Koc=2.31
