When an ionic salt like NaCl is added to water, the ions from the salt introduced will attract the water molecules in an effort to "solvate" the ions. This has the tendency to decrease the weak affinity of non-polar oxygen molecules to water and drive the dissolved oxygen out of the polar water. In general, the solubility of a gas in a solvent is affected significantly by the presence of other solutes in the solution.

Does lack of oxygen cause unconsciousness?
yes
What problems does salinity cause to the environment?
salt absorbs moisture from the ground this prevents plant growth also salt crystals are sharp and damage tender growth this causes erotion.
Can not getting enough oxygen make you sleepy?
Yes, not getting enough oxygen can and will make you drowsy, also, not getting enough oxygen can cause brain damage. - Heisenberg
Suppose you were a farmer trying to grow plants in a greenhouse. why would it be important to know what the limiting factor is?
A limiting factor is important because without it there would be billions and billions of organisms that would never decrease they would just keep on increasing.
What is the most common cause of fatalities in an oxygen deficient confined space?
asphyxiation
Which of the following can cause a decrease in dissolved oxygen in the water?
Excessive plant debris
What can cause an increase in density of ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
What can cause the increase in the density of ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
Can cause an increase in the density of the ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
What can decrease the amount of dissolved oxygen in water?
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.
What's dissolved oxygen?
Dissolved oxygen is the current amount of oxygen in the water. A certain amount of Dissolved Oxygen Is needed to keep the fish alive, if any of the dissolved oxygen decreases by either a little or a lot it can cause changes in the water, normally if the dissolved oxygen decreases so do the fish and aquatics life's life.

What condition would cause the salinity of ocean water decrease?
A river flowing into the sea is causing the decrease in salinity
Why do rotting plants cause a decrease in the level of oxygen?

What is the salinity in the water that the crab live?
The salinity affects the crabs by altering the size of their internal organs, causing them to swell and decrease, as the salinity does. This drastic change in the crabs can cause death, and colour changes within the crab.
Explain how changes in the alveolar structure cause a decrease in the blood oxygen levels in emphysema?
Decrease in alveolar surface area results in less boundary across which oxygen can be absorbed into the blood.
Salinity in open-ocean zone?
Salinity is the saltiness or dissolved salt content of a body of water.The average ocean salinity is 35 ppt. This number varies between about 32 and 37 ppt. Rainfall, evaporation, river runoff, and ice formation cause the variations. For example, the Black Sea is so diluted by river runoff, its average salinity is only 16 ppt.
