Q4) A 5-day BOD test is performed on a sample of raw wastewater. 6 mL of wastewater sample are
added to 300-mL BOD bottles and mixed with dilution water. The average dissolved-oxygen
concentration of the diluted wastewater samples on day 1 of the test was 7.6mgL and after incubation
at 20C for 5 days was 2.6mgL. Calculate the 5-day BOD of the raw wastewater. Since raw wastewater
already contains bacteria, it is not necessary to add "seed" to the sample or to the dilution water.
