1 (e) (iii) [KB0608 Interpreting Data] Score Criteria 3 Able to explain the relationship between the time taken for the methylene blue to be decolourised and BOD level of water sample accurately based on 3 criteria: Time taken for the methylene blue to be decolourised BOD level Explanation level of pollution and presence of microorganisms in water used oxygen to decompose organic materials / pollutant. Sample answer: 1. The shorter the time taken for the methylene blue to be decolourised, the higher the BOD level of the water sample. This is because the water is more polluted as more microorganisms in the water and more (dissolved) oxygen used to decompose the organic materials / pollutant. 2 4551/3 Able to explain the relationship between the time taken for the methylene blue to be decolourised and BOD level of water sample clearly and accurately based on [Lihat halaman sebelah
