Question: a . Tyrosine ( C 9 H 1 1 N O 3 ) is one of the amino acids that are used by cells to

a. Tyrosine (C9H11NO3) is one of the amino acids that are used by cells to synthesize proteins. Assume tyrosine is oxidized to CO2,H2O, and NH3 in aerobic conditions, complete the following equation to check the process of this reaction.
C9H11NO3+O2
b. Calculate the carbonaceous COD (as in mgO2L) of the solution if initial tyrosine concentration is 100mgL.
c. Assuming that the BOD5 of a water sample containing tyrosine is 65mgL, bacterial consumption rate constant k=0.22d-1(base e), calculate its ultimate BOD.
BOD rate equation:
Where,
BODt=L(1-e-k*t)
L is ultimate BOD[mgL],
BODt is oxygen consumed after time t[mgL],
k is the rate constant for bacteria consumption of organic matters d-1,
t is time [d].
a . Tyrosine ( C 9 H 1 1 N O 3 ) is one of the
