Volume of FAS standard (mL)
7.1 Compute the molarity for the FAS standard using formula given (Table 1):
Notes : The 0.25 is the Standard potassium dichromate solution, 0.04167M K2Cr2O7 undergoes a six-electron
reduction reaction; the equivalent concentration is 6 X 0.04167M or 0.2500N.
7.2 Compute the COD concentration in mg/L for the samples using formula given (Table 2):
( B – A) X NFAS X 8000
COD as mg O2/L =
mL sample
where:
Notes: The 8000 multiplier is to express the results in units of milligrams per liter of oxygen since 1 liter
contains 1000 mL and the equivalent weight of oxygen is 6.
