How do I do the whole question 2?

QUESTION 2 (15 marks) 2.1 An oxygen-demanding waste containing organic matter (mainly formic acid, HCOOH) is continuously discharged in a clean river stream. Upstream of the outfall, the river has a flow rate of 0.3 m/s and contains 7.0 mg/L of dissolved oxygen (DO). (a) Explain how the DO changes as a function of the downstream distance. (3 marks) (b) Suppose the formic acid discharge rate is 280 kg/day, estimate the DO at some distance downstream of the outfall to account for the complete organic waste decomposition by microbes. (4 marks) 2.2 A wastewater sample with a DO content of 1.4 mg/L is diluted with deionized water with a DO content of 8.8 mg/L in a 300 mL BOD bottle. The DO content of the diluted sample during a BOD test at 25C is 7.8 mg/L initially, 3.2 mg/L after 7 days, and 1.5 mg/L after an indefinitely long period of time. (a) Determine the volume of the undiluted wastewater sample used. (1 mark) (b) Determine the BOD5 of the undiluted wastewater sample if a test is conducted at 20 C.
