= 1 mole-N/L
Again, one gets:
mass/L = Molarity * GFW = 1 mole-N/L
* 14 g-N/mole-N
= 14 g-N/L or 14 g NH3-N/L
An ideal gas
Will occupy a certain fixed volume as determined by:
PV = nRT
RT mass ( g ) RT
V =n =
P GFW P
regardless of the nature of the gas
Where:
P=pressure
V=volume =22.4 L
n=number of moles at 1 atm, 273.15ºK
T=temp
R=universal gas constant=0.08205 L-atm/mole-ºK
GFW=gram formula weight

Solution (cont.)
b) As with the ethanol in part a) above, the first step is to write
the balanced equation for the oxidation of glucose to end products
of carbon dioxide and water.
C6 H12 O6 + 6_ O2 → _6 CO2 + 6_ H 2 O
GFW=180 GFW=192
mg C6 H12 O6 192 mg O2
ThOD = 45 x
L 180 mg C6 H12 O6
ThOD = 48 mg O2 / L
ThODtot = 52 mg O2 / L + 48 mg O2 / L
ThODtot = 100 mg O2 / L
