Which parameter is measured by determining the drop in dissolved oxygen in a sealed water or wastewater sample for a fixed number of days? microbial count COD BOD phosphorus nitrogen
Regarding sewage quality parameters with regard to physical and chemical characteristics, mark V for True or F for False: ( ) Turbidity is caused by the abundance of suspended solids in the water, the fresher and more concentrated the sewage, the greater its turbidity. ( ) Phenols present in sewage are inorganic compounds derived from domestic effluents, and despite being organic matter, they do not cause any change in water quality. ( ) Sewage, both fresh and old, derived from both domestic and industrial activities, is always gray or black in color. ( ) Household effluents have a BOD of around 300 mg/L, which means that 1 liter of sewage consumes about 300 milligrams of oxygen in 7 days. ( ) Phosphorus is a component that can be present in sewage in both organic and inorganic form. In large quantities, the compound causes the exaggerated growth of algae in the medium, which can cause the death of local aquatic life, this phenomenon is called eutrophication.

Illegal small-scale mining has been a major source of environmental pollution in Ghana. The quality of many water bodies has been affected by the acts of illegal small-scale mining. Use your knowledge in analytical process to systematically outline how you will go about to assess the extent of water pollution due to small-scale mining to make recommendations for those in authority.
A U-Tube is divided into left and right compartments by a membrane that exclusively allows water to pass through but not any dissolved particles. Initially, the water level is equal on both sides. Then. the following compounds are added to each compartment: Left compartment: 0.50 mol calcium nitrate and 1 mol of glucose(C6H11O6) Right compartment: 0.75 mol maltose (C12H22O11) and 0.75 mol AlPO4 Select the one statement below that is TRUE. a)Water will stop flowing across the membrane b)The right side compartment will have a higher osmotic pressure c)There will be no change in the water level on either side because water always flattens out d)The water level on the right side will be higher e)The water level on the left side will be higher

A sulfuric acid spill occurred on the highway after a truck containing barrels of sulfuric acid swerved out of control from a truck tire blowout. Luckily no one got hurt in the event but there is a concern that the sulfuric acid spill may affect local ground water supply. A sample of the ground water in that area was recovered to assess the extent of contamination of the ground water supply. In order to determine the concentration of sulfuric acid in the sample, 25.00 mL of the ground water sample was titrated with 0.133 M NaOH and you get the following data: Sodium hydroxide (initial buret reading) 0.66 mL Sodium hydroxide (final buret reading) 17.42 mL Calculate the molarity of sulfuric acid in the ground water sample. Enter numerical answer. Report in 3 sig figs. Show work
In biological systems, an ACTIVE transport process is one in which an important chemical component is moved from where it is __________ in concentration, to where it is ___________ in concentration. Meanwhile, a PASSIVE transport (or diffusion) process is one in which an important chemical component moves from where it is ____________ in concentration to where it is __________ in concentration. Of the two above processes, transport does not require energy to occur. A FACILITATED transport process is a form of ______________ transport, where an important chemical component moves with the aid of a channel or similar structure. According to the course lectures, Zoom sessions, course lecture notes, and/or assigned course readings, one specific example of a facilitated transport structure in the cell membrane is _____________ , which aids in the movement of a particular chemical component called __________ .
