Consider a sample of water from a stream found to have an initial DO of 10.0 mg/L. It is placed directly into a BOD bottle and i

ncubated for 5 days at 20C. After 5 days, the DO is found to be 5.0 mg/L. What is the BOD5 for this sample (mg/L)?

Answer:

The BOD5 for this sample is 5 mg/L

Explanation:

The BOD5 takes into consideration the difference between the initial DO and the final DO divided by the fraction of the sample tested in a 300 mL BOD flask. The problem states that the sample was directly placed in a BOD bottle so we assume that the volume used was 300 mL of the water sample. The fraction of water is 1 (300/300).

BOD5=\frac{DOi-DOf}{fraction}

BOD5 = (10-5)/1

BOD 5 = 5 mg/L

The igneous rock gabbro most likely formed
weeeeeb [17]

Slowly, deep underground

The igneous rock gabbro is coarse grained and non-vesicular. Both characteristics show that it is an intrusive igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed below Earth's surface and slowly (because they're underground). When rocks are intrusive, they are are non-vesicular (no air pockets) because the air has had the time to escape because of the slow cooling time period. Intrusive rocks are also coarse because crystals had the time to form in the rock during that longer cooling time.

Ps. extrusive igneous rocks form rapidly at Earth's surface and basically have tge opposite characteristics for the opposite reasons (ex: vesicular cause air had little time to escape)
