Bromoform (CHBr_3) is degraded via base-catalyzed hydrolysis with a second-order reaction rate constant of 3.0 Times 10^-4 M^-1 s^-1 CHBr_3 + OH^- rightarrow products An engineer is designing a reactor to treat water contaminated with bromoform. She keeps the water well-buffered at a pH of 7. What is the half-life (days) of bromoform in this reactor? What would the half-life of bromoform be if she buffered the water at a pH of 10?
