Exothermic
An aqueous solution has 0.0070 gram of oxygen dissolved in 1000. grams of water. calculate the dissolved oxygen concentration of this solution in parts per million?A. 17ppm B. 27ppm C. 7ppm D. 7ppm
Water at high temperature will have less dissolved gases including oxygen.
Other factors must have caused the low dissolved oxygen levels. Bacteria and other organisms can lower the dissolved oxygen of water when they respire aerobically.
With a rise of temperature, the solubility increases
The amount of dissolved oxygen decreases when water temperature increases. Warm water is unable to dissolve as much oxygen gas.
Temperature has a direct effect on the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water. As the temperature of the water increases, the solubility of oxygen decreases and the concentration of dissolved oxygen will decrease. Conversely, as the temperature of the water decreases, the solubility of oxygen increases and the concentration of dissolved oxygen will increase. Additionally, warmer water is generally less dense than colder water, resulting in less efficient oxygen transfer.
. Temperature directly affects the solubility of oxygen in water. When the temperature of water increases, a portion of oxygen converts from liquid state to a gas. Thus the ability of water to maintain oxygen in dissolved state decreases with increasing temperature. As a result, colder water can potentially contain more dissolved oxygen than warm water. Therefore, a lake in spring contains greater amount of Dissolved Oxygen than the same lake in summer.
As the temperature of the water increases, the amount of solute (in this case NH4Cl) that can be dissolved increases.
The colder the water, the more DO (dissolved oxygen) it can contain.
Hypoxia is a deficiency of oxygen in either the fish or water itself. Water naturally has a level of oxygen dissolved in itself. That is the oxygen that fish take in through the gills. This level of oxygen in clean pure water is about 8 ppm. In the summer more algae grows in the water due to favorable conditions. This algae consumes oxygen from the water. Also, in the summer the water temperature increases. Oxygen has a lower solubility in water as the temperature increases. Therefore the level of oxygen in the water will decrease slightly as the water temperature increases. These are just a few common reasons. Every water body is certainly different.
Sometimes, water can become overheated, like if it is near a factory or power plant. If the water's temperature increases, then the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) level will decrease, which can cause strain or even death for many fish and marine wildlife.
Exothermic
In polar oceans because the solubility of oxygen increases with decreasing temperature
exothermic with the release of energy
The oxygen dissolved in water is a measure of dissolved oxygen (DO).
Because it does.
