Question: Problem 3 : During a BOD test, 2 ml of waste water containing 2 5 mg / L of a protein ( C 1 1

Problem 3: During a BOD test, 2 ml of waste water containing 25 mg/L of a protein (C11H21ON)
having a DO of 0.0, was mixed with 298 mL of dilution water having a DO of 8.9 mg/L. After 5
days, it was noted that the DO of test bottle is 2.5 and at the oxygen concentration of dilution
water dropped to 8.7 mg/l. What is the BOD5 in this case? If the TBODu of this water is 1100,
(a) what is the first order CBOD constant? (b) What is NBOD in mg/L. This experiment was
conducted in the US at 20C. Determine the value of K at 15o C.
