Question

For a wastewater sample, the three-day biochemical oxygen demand at incubation temperature of 20∘C20^\circ\text{C} (BOD3day,20∘C\text{BOD}_{3\text{day}, 20^\circ\text{C}}) is estimated as 200 mg/L200\text{ mg/L}. Taking the value of the first order BOD reaction rate constant as 0.22 day−10.22\text{ day}^{-1}, the five-day BOD (expressed in mg/L) of the wastewater at incubation temperature of 20∘C20^\circ\text{C} (BOD5day,20∘c\text{BOD}_{5\text{day}, 20^\circ\text{c}}) would be _________
