An inert chemical was applied to the soil surface 2 years ago. The Kd value of the chemical is 0.2 cm3 g-1 Assume the average drainage rate in the soil profile is 0.5 m per year, annual average water content of the soil is 0.2 cm3 cm-3, and bulk density is 1.25 g cm-3. Estimate where the chemical is in the soil profile now.
