An agricultural accident spills 5 kg of the herbicide picloram into a small pond containing 57 m³ of water. Determine the theoretical oxygen demand this places on the pond expressed as mg O₂ / liter, assuming picloram is completely biodegradable and the end products are in their most oxidized form. Further assume chlorine is converted to HC1. The chemical structure of picloram is: NH₂ CI OH

Scrubbers are a type of pollution control technology installed on industry smokestacks to capture sulfur dioxide before it is emitted to the atmosphere. Once collected, the sulfur dioxide can be used to manufacture sulfuric acid, which can be sold to other companies that make detergents. Explain how the use of scrubber technology benefits both industry and the environment.
