Data Given: Volume of sample=25 c.c, Volume of K2Cr2O7: 8.3 c.c, Molarity of K2Cr2O7: 0.001 M
Since 1 mole FAS≡1 mole K2Cr2O7≡12mole of O2
Hence, 8.3 ml K2Cr2O7≡same 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=7.04×10−5 g of oxygen for 25 ml of sample
Oxygen required for 1000 ml o waste water =7.4×10−5×4=2816×10−3 g/lit
COD for waste water sample = 2.816×10−3 mg/lit
