Question: ( 1 ) A 1 0 mL sewage sample was diluted with distilled water ( BOD 5 = 0 ) to fill a 3 0

(1) A 10 mL sewage sample was diluted with distilled water (BOD5=0) to fill a 300 mL BOD-testing bottle. The initial DO of the mixture is 9.0 mg/L. Your boss told you to keep the drop of DO between 30% and 70% of the initial DO, to assure the accuracy of the BOD test. Please estimate the range of the sewage samples BOD that can be accurately tested using this method.
(2) If distilled water is unavailable and tap water (BOD5=2 mg/L) must be used instead, please re-estimate the range of BOD that can be accurately tested.
