The organic content of a sludge mixture is determined to be predominated by the following compounds: free amino acids represented by 380 g/m³ glutamine (C5H10N2O3), 2200 g/m² protein (C16H24O5N4), and 840 g/m³ cellulose/glycogen (C6H1204N). If the biodegradability fractions of the compounds are as indicated in the Table below, complete the Table and determine the ultimate carbonaceous BOD (UCBOD) of the solution. Atomic weights of elements are: C = 12, H = 1, N = 14, and O = 16. Table 1. Mass analysis results for the three compounds in the sample.
