Find the theoretical carbonaceous oxygen demand

Reference no: EM13564954

Suppose a ponds water contains 10.0 mg/L of some algae, which can be represented by the chemical formula C6H15O6N. Using the following reactions:

C6H15O6N + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + NH3

NH3 + 2 O2 -> NO3- + H+ + H2O

a. Find the theoretical carbonaceous oxygen demand (CBOD)

b. Find the nitrogenous oxygen demand (nBOD)

c. Find the total theoretical (carbinaceous plus nitrogenous) oxygen demand (ThOD)
