3. [15] An often used chemical representation of algae is C16H2630110N16P. When a surface water is undergoing eutrophication, excess nutrients lead to algal blooms. When the algae die, they sink to deeper waters where they are consumed by respiring microorganisms. When microorganisms consume algae they use O2 and produce CO2, H2O, NO: , and PO . Theoretical oxygen demand is discussed in Chapter 9.3. a. Balance the chemical reaction for the respiratory consumption of algae. C10.H2630110N6P+ O2 =CO2 + NO3* + PO4+H2O + H+ b. What is the theoretical oxygen demand (THOD) of 100 mg/L of algae? c. How might the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) be different than the ThoD and why might it be different?
