BOD Calculation

The document reports the results of a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) test on a lake water sample. It provides the initial pH of the sample, volumes of acid and base used for adjustments, and volumes of the sample incubated. It then shows a table with the initial and final dissolved oxygen concentrations, oxygen depletion, and BOD5 in mg/L for the blank and two samples of different volumes incubated over 5 days.
