What happens to the solubility of gases with the increase in temperature?
solubility generally increases with a temperature increase
how does temperature affect the concentration of dissolved oxygen?
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.
What happens to the solubility of a solid in water as the temperature increases?
Although the solubility of most substances increases with temperature (eg you can dissolve more sugar in water when it is hot than you can in the same amount of water when it is cold) with gases the solubility decreases with temperature, so that cold water will hold more gas than the same amount of hot water. As oxygen is a gas its solubility decreases as the water temperature increases.
How does the solubility of a substance change with a rise in temperature?
With a rise of temperature, the solubility increases
What happens to the solubility of oxygen in a pond as the pond decreases temperature?
Oxygen solubility in water is strange and does not follow "normal" solubility rules along with many other gases. The solubility increases as temperature decreases.
The addition of heat to a pond causes serious problems for the aquatic plants because the increase in water temperature?
decreases the solubility of the oxygen in the water
Does Increasing temperature always increases the solubility of a solute in a solvent?
hot water does not hold dissolved oxygen well because the water molecules separate and can't group around the dissolved oxygen, so if oxygen can be considered a solute and water a solvent then the answer is no
Is the solubility of oxygen in blood at 2 ATM less than the same as or greater than at atmospheric pressure?
in my opinion, according to Henry's law - if pressure increase, solubility of gases will increase as well. I would say that the solubility of oxygen at 2 atm will be greater than at atm.
Explain why pressure affects the solubility of oxygen in water but not the solubility of Nacl in water?
The reason that it effects the solubulity of oxygen is that it is gaseous while NaCl is solid at room temperature. The oxygen molecules are effected by the increase in pressure in the way that there are more of them per unit volume of air if you increase air pressure. This is clearly not the case for the Na and Cl atoms which are ionically bonded to one another and are therefore solid. If you want to know more about the reason that pressure effects the solubility of oxygen in water, have a wee look at partial pressures.
How temperature affects a substaces solubility?
Increasing the temperature the solubility of solids in water is increased.
If the temperature is increased What happens to the partial pressure of oxygen in a sample of air?
In a sample of air, an increase in temperature will result in an increase in the partial pressure of oxygen.
When water temperature increases what will the dissolved oxygen content do?
The amount of dissolved oxygen decreases when water temperature increases. Warm water is unable to dissolve as much oxygen gas.
