Answer:

(i) 5-day BOD of the waste is 120 mg/l.

(ii) The ultimate carbonaceous BOD (Lo) is 20 mg/l.

Explanation:

The dilution factor D is 0.05.

The initial DO is 8.0 mg/L and the DO after 5 days is 2.0 mg/L.

The BOD of the waste for an unseeded mixture is

BOD_5=(DO_5-DO_0)/D=(8-2)/0.05=6/0.05=120mg/l

The ultimate carbonaceous BOD (Lo) can be calculated as

L = L_o*10 ^{- k_1t} \\L_o=L/10^{- k_1t}=2/10^{- 0.2*5}=2/10^{- 1}=2*10=20mg/l

1. Explain Why is Earth's<br>atmosphere important to life<br>on Earth?​
lozanna [386]

The atmosphere is an important part of what makes Earth livable. It blocks some of the Sun's dangerous rays from reaching Earth. It traps heat, making Earth a comfortable temperature. And the oxygen within our atmosphere is essential for life.

The mass percentage of hydrochloric acid within a solution is 15.00%. given that the density of this solution is 1.075 g/ml, fin
Morgarella [4.7K]

Given the mass percentage of HCl solution = 15.00 %

This means that 15.00 g HCl is present in 100 g solution

Moles of HCl = 15.00 gHCl*\frac{1 mol HCl}{36.46 g HCl} =0.411molHCl

Density of the solution = 1.075 g/mL

Calculating the volume of solution from density and mass:

100 g *\frac{1mL}{1.075 g} =93.0 mL

Converting volume from mL to L:

93.0 mL * \frac{1 L}{1000 mL} =0.093 L

Calculating the molarity of HCl solution from moles and volume:

\frac{0.411 mol}{0.093 L} =4.42 mol/L
