To test the water boiling point temperature,( 9) measurements were taken out as below:
(99.3, 99.4, 99.2, 99.5, 99.6, 99.9, 99.6, 99.4 , 99.8) Co, with a population standard deviation = 1.2 Co.
Test the hypothesis that (100 Co) is the boiling point of water or not using α = 5%?
you collect a 1-liter sample of water from a river and perform a BOd test in the lab. at the beginning of the experiment, your water contains 8.7 mg/l of dissolved oxygen, and after 5 days you have only 5.0 mg/l of dissolved oxygen?
a) what is the biological oxygen demand of the water - that is the amount of oxygen consumed during the 5 day period?
b) Assuming all of the organic material in the water has the chemical formula CH2O, what mass of this material must have been present originally to consume that much oxygen?

- Particle emissions in a house. The power goes out in your apartment (volume = 150 m3) at night, so you decide to light a few candles. These candles have a combined particle emission rate of E = 2.0 mg/h. Your apartment has a ventilation flow of 1.5 m3/min and the particles have a first order loss rate (due to deposition, which acts similar to a reaction) of 0.25 h−1, so: Write the differential equation and define the source and loss terms. Calculate the values for the source and loss terms and rewrite the differential equation with these values. What is the steady state particle concentration in your house (in μg/m3)? Write the time-varying solution to this problem and calculate the particle concentration after 1 hour of candle-burning (in μg/m3).
