Ques 1) The dilution fraction P for an unseeded mixture of waste and

water is 0.030. The DO of the
mixture is initially 9.0 mg/L and after five days it has dropped to 2.0
mg/L. The reaction
rate constant k has been found to be 0.22 day -1.
i) What is the five day BOD of the waste?
ii) What would be the ultimate BOD?
iii) What would be the remaining oxygen demand after five days?

Ques 2) If 250 mg/L Glucose is completely oxidized to CO2 find:

a. Theoretical Oxygen Demand (ThOD)
b. Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
c. Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
d. BOD5
e. Total Organic Carbon (TOC)

Ques 3) At equilibrium, a sample of water at pH 10 has 32 mg/L of CO 32-.

Find the alkalinity of the water in the following units: eq/L as well as mg/L
as CaCO3.

Ques 4) A sample of water having a pH of 7.2 has the following

concentrations of ions:
Ca2+ 80.24 mg/L
Mg2+ 10 mg/L
Na+ 11.8 mg/L
K+ 7.0 mg/L
CO32- 54.3 mg/L
HCO3- 122 mg/L
SO42- 67.2 mg/L
Cl- 11 mg/L
Calculate the TH, CH, NCH, Alkalinity, and construct a bar chart of the
constituents.

Ques 5) The BOD of a wastewater sample is estimated to be 180 mg/L.

What volume of undiluted sample should be added to a 300 mL bottle?
Also, what are the sample size and dilution factor using this volume?
Assume that 4 mg/L BOD can be consumed in the BOD bottle.

Ques 6) In order to find BOD of a sample of river water, DO values of 100

times diluted sample and dilution water were measured at 20oC. Results
are given as under:

● DO (sample) mg/L

Initial = 8.0

DO5 = 1.80

● DO dilution water (mg/L)

Initial =8.1

DO5 = 7.9

Calculate:

(a) BOD5 of the sample at 20 degree

(b) Ultimate BOD of the sample

(BOD rate constant (log base e) = 0.23/day)

(c) The temperature of the river water recorded was 27oC. What would be
the

BOD5? ( theta coefficient = 1.047)

(d) What would be the BOD remaining BOD remaining at 27oC after 5 days
