    9–1 Glutamic acid (C5H9O4N) is used as one of the reagents for


    a standard to check the BOD test. Determine the theoretical
    oxygen demand of 150 mg · L−1 of glutamic acid. Assume the
    following reactions apply.

    C5H9O4N + 4.5O2 −→ 5CO2 + 3H2O + NH3

    NH3 + 2O2 −→ NO−3 + H+ + H2O

    Solution:

    Glutamic acid = 147 mg/L


    Molecular weight of oxygen demand (4.502+2.020)
    = 208mg/L

    (150-208)/147 = 212.24 mg/L

    Answer: 212.24 mg/L

    9–2 Bacterial cells have been represented by the chemical


    formula C5H7NO2. Compute the theoretical oxygen demand (in
    grams O2 · mol−1 of cells), assuming the following reactions
    apply.

    C5H7NO2 + 5O2 −→ 5CO2 + 2H2O + NH3

    NH3 + 2O2 −→ NO−3 + H+ + H2O

    Solution:

    Mass = molar mass x no. of moles


    Mass of oxygen required = 32g/mol x 7 = 224 g/mol

    Answer: 224 g/mol

    9–3 The company you work for plans to release a waste stream
    containing 7.0 mg · L−1 of benzaldehyde.

    Assuming that benzaldehyde degrades according the reaction:

    C7H6O + 8O2 −→ 7CO2 + 3H2O

    calculate the theoretical carbonaceous oxygen demand of this


    waste stream (in mg · L−1).

    Solution:

    7mg/l (256gm/106gm) = 16.906mg/L

    Answer: 16.906mg/L

    9–4 The company you work for plans to release a waste stream
    containing 10 mg · L−1 of phenol. Assuming that phenol
    degrades according the reaction:

    C6H7O + 7.25O2 −→ 6CO2 + 3.5H2O

    Calculate the theoretical carbonaceous oxygen demand of this


    waste stream.

    Solution:

    Mol. Weight of phenol = 95g


    7.25 02 = 7.25x16x2 = 232g
    theoretical carbonaceous oxygen demand:
    (232/95) x 10 = 24.421mg/L

    Answer: 24.421 mg/L


    9–5 If the BOD5 of a waste is 220.0 mg · L−1 and the ultimate
    BOD is 320.0 mg · L−1, what is the rate constant?

    Solution:
    BOD5 = 220mg/L
    BOD = 320 mg/L
    T= 200C
    220=320(1-e-k(5)), k=0.233/day
    Answer: 0.233/day

    9–6 If the BOD of a municipal wastewater at the end of 7 days is


    60.0 mg · L−1 and the ultimate BOD is 85.0 mg · L−1, what is
    the rate constant?
    Solution:
    BOD7 = 60mg/L
    Lo=85 mg/L
    t= 7 days
    BOD7=Lo(1-e-kt)
    k= Ln[(-60+85)/85]/7 => k=0.1748/day
    Answer: 0.1748 /day

    9–7 The BOD rate constant is 0.233 day−1 for a municipal


    wastewater. The BOD5 was measured to be 250 mg · L−1. What
    is the ultimate BOD?
    Solution:
    272=Lo(1-e-0.233x5)
    250/0.688=363.372mg/L
    Answer: 363.372 mg/L
    9–8 The BOD rate constant is 0.433 day−1 for a municipal
    wastewater. The BOD5 was measured to be

    272 mg · L−1. What is the ultimate BOD?


    Solution:
    272=Lo(1-e-0.433x5)
    272/1-0.114 = 306.997 mg/L
    Answer: 306.997mg/L

    9–9 Assuming that the data in Problem 9–5 were taken at 20◦C,
    compute the rate constant at a temperature of 15◦C.
    Solution:
    K15= 0.233 x 1.135 = 0.1235/ day
    Answer: 0.1235/day

    9–10 Assuming that the data in Problem 9–6 were taken at 25◦C,
    compute the rate constant at 16◦C.
    Solution:
    K16 = (0.133/day)(1.135)(16-20)
    K16 = 0.0801/day
    Answer: 0.0801/day
