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
