10 g rat (dry weight) is accidentally bottled in a 25 litre jug of spring water that initially contains 10 mg/L of oxygen. Assume that 70% of the dry weight of the mouse is carbohydrate (CH20).  Write the relevant equation for oxygen consumption. Does the jug become anaerobic? If 2 ppm nitrate and 15 ppm sulphate are also in the jug, how much nitrate and sulphate will be left in the jug when it comes to equilibrium?
