Data Given: Volume of sample=25 c.c,   Volume of K2Cr2O7: 8.3 c.c,   Molarity of K2Cr2O7:   0.001 M

Since 1 mole FAS1 mole K2Cr2O712mole of O2

Hence, 8.3 ml K2Cr2O7same Volume of FAS assuming same molarityHence,if 1 litre of 1M FAS=8 g of oxygen8.3 ml of 0.001M FAS=8×8.3×0.0011000=7.04×105 g of oxygen for 25 ml of sample

Oxygen required for 1000 ml o waste water =7.4×105×4=2816×103 g/lit

COD for waste water sample = 2.816×103 mg/lit
