Transcribed Image Text:**Wastewater Analysis for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)**
A wastewater sample was prepared and incubated at 20°C for 5 days for BOD analysis. The sample volume used was 15 mL. The initial and final Dissolved Oxygen (DO) levels were measured as 8.7 mg/L and 3.12 mg/L, respectively.
Given:
- Temperature correction coefficient: 1.024
- Reaction rate coefficient at 20°C: 0.32 day⁻¹
**Questions:**
a. What is the BOD₅ (mg/L) at 20°C?
b. What is the ultimate BOD (mg/L)?
c. What is the BOD₇ (mg/L) at 16°C?
**Note:** This is a typical calculation for assessing the organic pollution level in water by determining the amount of oxygen microorganisms will consume to decompose the organic matter present in the water over a specified period.
