Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
BOD stands for Biochemical Oxygen Demand
The amount of oxygen required by bacteria to break down the organic matter present in a certain volume of a sample of water is called Biochemical Oxygen Demand.
BOD value of water
- A BOD number of less than 5 ppm indicates that the water is clean.
- A BOD value of 17 ppm or above indicates that the water is highly polluted.

- Consider a complex reaction taking place in three steps with rate constants \(k_1\), \(k_2\), and \(k_3\) respectively. The overall rate constant \(k\) is given by the expression \( k = \sqrt{\frac{k_1 k_3}{k_2}} \). If the activation energies of the three steps are 60, 30, and 10 kJ mol\(^{-1}\) respectively, then the overall energy of activation in kJ mol\(^{-1}\) is ________________(Nearest integer).
