Assume that all solutions are prepared at 25 degrees celsius and the solutes arr completely dissolved. In the lead content analysis of a wastewater sample, 75.00 mL of the original sample was taken and diluted with 125.00 mL deionized water. The diluted sample was found to have a lead content of 19.2 ppb. What is the lead content (in pbb) of the original wastewater sample?
A BOD test is run using 100mL of treated wastewater. The initial DO of the mixture after diluting the waste sample with distilled water is 9.0mg/L. After 5-day incubation, the DO measured was 4.0mg/L. After a long period of time, the DO is 2.0mg/L and no longer seems to be decreasing. Assume that nitrification has been inhibited. Determine the following: a)BOD5 & BODu of the waste sample b) BOD5 of the mixture and c) k THANK YOU

3. A 100 mL of wastewater sample was drying on a 0.5 g empty dish weight at 104 °C to weight 0.5625 g. Another 100 mL of the same wastewater was first filtered and the filtrate was dried on a 0.5 g dish at 104 °C to weight 0.5325 g. Determine in mg/L the:a) TSb) TSSc) TDSd) VSS assuming it represents 70% of TSS
A BOD test is to be run on a sample of wastewater that has a five-day BOD of 195 mg/L. If the initial DO of a mix of distilled water and wastewater is 9.0 mg/L, and the test requires a decrease in DO of at least 2.0 mg/L with at least 2.0 mg/L remaining at the end of the five days, what range of dilution factors (P) would produce acceptable results? In 300-mL bottles, what range of wastewater volumes could be used?
A wastewater sample subjected to standard BOD5 test yields a test result of 200 mg/L. The rate constant is 0.18/day at 20°C (to the base 'e'). Another sample of the same wastewater is tested at a temperature of 30°C. The time in days after which the BOD yielded is 200 mg/L is (up to 2 decimal places).
6. Please answer the following questions: (a) Why control of pH is considered important and what are the main sources of acidity and alkalinity in natural waters? (b) A 100 ml sample require 20.2ml of 0.02 NH2SO4 to reach the phenolphthalein end point, and a total of 25.6ml to reach the Methyl orange end point. Calculate total alkalinity and indicate what fraction corresponds to hydroxides, carbonates and bicarbonates (c) The uptake for a water supply system is located at a location named X3 (see Figure); upstream X3, there are two villages that discharge raw sewage at X1 and X2, and new wastewater treatment systems are needed in both villages in order to reduce the concentration of BOD. Calculate the current concentration of BOD at X3, and the required removal efficiency (% BOD removal) in the new wastewater treatment works (WWTW) to control BOD discharges at X1 and X2, so the BOD at X3 ≤ 10mg/L.
A 5-day BOD test if performed on an industrial wastewater sample that contains no bacteria; therefore, a "seeded" BOD test is run. Ten ml of "seed" are added to 20 liters of dilution water. Thirty milliliters of industrial wastewater are added to a 300-ml BOD bottle, and the remaining volume consists of "seeded" dilution water. The average dissolved-oxygen concentrations of the diluted wastewater samples and blanks (seeded dilution water) on the first day of the test were 7.5 mg/L and 9.0 mg/L, respectively. After incubation of separate BOD bottles at 20 C for 5 days, the average DO concentrations of the diluted wastewater BOD bottles and seeded dilution water BOD bottles were 3.1 and 8.5 mg/L, respectively. Calculate the 5-day BOD of the industrial wastewater. I am unsure of how to solve for f given this information, where f = (% seed in D1) / (% seed in B1)
A laboratory provides the following solids analysis for a wastewater sample: TS = 290 mg/L; TDS = 37 mg/L; FSS = 38 mg/L. a) How you can measure the following parameters: Fixed Dissolved Solids: Volatile Suspended Solids: b) What is the total suspended solids concentration of this sample? c) Does this sample have appreciable organic matter? Why or why not
For the measurement of the BOD of a wastewater sample from textile industry, five different dilutions (0.5%, 1%, 2%, 5% and 10%) of 1 L are prepared, with the addition of 2 mL of seed. Three different dilutions (0,5%, 2% and 5%) are used for seed corrections. The results of DO measurements are given below. Calculate the BOD5 concentration of the sample.

A standard BOD test is run using seeded dilution water. The blank bottle containing the seeded dilution water has an initial DO of 9.2 mg/L and a final DO of 8.2 mg/L. The waste sample is mixed with seeded dilution water at a 1:25 ratio. It has an initial DO of 9.0 mg/L and a final DO of 2.0 mg/L. Calculate the BOD5.
