RESULT AND CALCULATION

BOD

Type of sample: Tasik G3 UTHM, Johor

1. pH value

Total pH value = 7.78 (neutral pH)

Sub-index for pH = -181 + 82.4x – 6.05x2

= -181 + 82.4(7.78) – 6.05(7.78)2

= 93.88 mg/L

2. Sub-index for BOD = 108e(-0.055x) – 0.1x

= 108e[-0.055(4.44)] – 0.1(4.44)

= 84.16 mg/L

3. Total average value for DO (mg/L)

To determine the value of the BOD in mg/L, use the following formula:

BOD, mg/L = [(Initial DO - Final DO) x 300]/mL sample

AMMONIA (NH3-N) TEST

Sample Concentration (mg/L)

Blank 0.00

Sample A (G3 lake) 0.83

Subindex for NH3-H

Ammonia concentration value, x= 0.83, which is between the range of 0.3<x<4

So,

SIAN = 94 x exp(-0.573x)-5*(x-2)

= 94 x exp (-0.573(0.83) -5 x (0.83- 2)

= 58.42+5.85

= 64.27
