Question 2 Ratio of COD to Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
The generic formula for calculating the ratio of COD to TOC for a given organic compound is given below:
Ratio COD / TOC=8(4n+a−2b−3d)(12n)=83+2(a−2b−3d)(3n)
a) Explain how the formula is derived
b) Calculate the ratio of COD/TOC for the following and comment on the trend:
Formic acid (CH2O2 )
Glucose (C6H12O6)
Benzene (C6H6)
Acetone (C3H6O)
Methanol (CH4O)
Methane (CH4)
