6. Suppose a pond's water contains 10.0 mg/L of some algae, which can be represented by the chemical formula C6H₁5O6N. Using the following reactions: C6H1506N +60₂6CO2 + 6H₂O + NH3 NH3 + 202 → NO3 + H* + H₂O Find the theoretical nitrogenous oxygen demand (NBOD) (mg/L) Atomic mass: C=12 H=1 O=16 N=14

6. Suppose a pond’s water contains 10.0 mg/L of some algae, which can be represented by the chemical formula C₆H₁₅O₆N. Using the following reactions:

\[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{15}\text{O}_6\text{N} + 6\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{NH}_3 \]

\[ \text{NH}_3 + 2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{NO}_3^- + \text{H}^+ + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]

Find the theoretical nitrogenous oxygen demand (NBOD) (mg/L).

Atomic mass: C=12 H=1 O=16 N=14
