PLEASE ANSWER FULL DETAIL: LOOK AT IMAGE!!
1. The laboratory of the local wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is to set up a test to measure the BOD \({}_{5}\) in the plant effluent. The \(\mathrm{BOD}_{5}\) is expected to range between 20 and \(30\mathrm{mg}/\mathrm{L}\). The textbook describes two conditions that must be met in a BOD test (in the BOD bottle) in order for the results to be acceptable (section 3.3.2.2):
a) Approximately \(4.0\mathrm{mg}/\mathrm{L}\) of dissolved oxygen (DO) must be consumed during the five day incubation period,
b) At least \(1.0\mathrm{mg}/\mathrm{L}\) of DO must remain in the BOD bottle when the test is completed.
Since the sample comes from the WWTP, it contains indigenous (local) microorganisms and thus does not require seeding. Set up the BOD experiment knowing that the DO of the Dilution Water is \(9.0\mathrm{mg}/\mathrm{L}\), and the DO in the plant effluent is 0(zero)\(\mathrm{mg}/\mathrm{L}\). Determine:
i) How many mL of sample and how many mL of Dilution Water will the BOD bottles need to contain (10 points) and
ii) What would be the final DO in the BOD bottles on the fifth day. Does it meet criterion (b)?(10 points).
