Determine the decay rate constant for the die-off of anthrax

Reference no: EM13323709

In 1908, H. Chick reported an experiment in which he disinfected anthrax spores with a 5% solution of phenol. The results of his experiment are tabulated below. Assuming the experiment was conducted in a completely-mixed batch reactor, determine the decay rate constant for the die-off of anthrax.
