3.0 ml of raw sewage is diluted to 300 ml. The D.O. concentration of the diluted sample at the beginning of the test was 8 mg/l. After 5 day-incubation at 20°C, the DO. concentration was 5 mg/l. The BOD of raw sewerage is

DO = Dissolved Oxygen.
DO I= Initial = 8 mg/l,
DOF = Final = 5 mg/l.
DF= Dilution Factor.
Formula of BOD:
BOD = (DO I - DO F) * DF ---> (1)
DF = Total Vol/Vol of Sample
DF = 300/3
DF = 100
So, eq(1) becomes:
BOD = (8-5)*100.
BOD = 300 mg/l.
DO I= Initial = 8 mg/l,
DOF = Final = 5 mg/l.
DF= Dilution Factor.
Formula of BOD:
BOD = (DO I - DO F) * DF ---> (1)
DF = Total Vol/Vol of Sample
DF = 300/3
DF = 100
So, eq(1) becomes:
BOD = (8-5)*100.
BOD = 300 mg/l.
