The theoretical aerobic oxidation of biomass (C5H7O2N) is given below:

C5H7O2N + 5O2 β†’ 5CO2 + NH3 + 2H2O

The biochemical oxidation of biomass is assumed as a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 0.23/d at 20ΒΊC (logarithm to base e). Neglecting the second-stage oxygen demand from its biochemical oxidation, the ratio of BOD5 at 20ΒΊC to total organic carbon (TOC) of biomass is _______ (round off to two decimal places).

[Consider the atomic weights of C, H, O and N as 12 g/mol, 1 g/mol, 16 g/mol and 14 g/mol, respectively
