2. The BOD5 of a waste sample was found to be 60 mg/L The initial oxygen concentration of the BOD dilution water was equal to 8.6 mg/L, the DO concentration measured after incubation was equal to 8.6 mg/L and the size of the sample used was equal to 10 mL. If the volume of the BOD bottle used was equal to 300 mL, then the initial DO concentration (in mg/L) of the waste sample is: O 2.025 2.050 O 2.250 2.400 2.600 2.850 2.950
A mixture consisting of 30 mL of waste and 270 mL of seeded dilution water has an initial DO of 8.55 mg/L; after five days, it has a final DO of 2.40 mg/L. Another bottle containing just the seeded dilution water has an initial DO of 8.75 mg/L and a final DO of 8.53 mg/L. Find the five-day BOD of the waste.
