How much dissolved oxygen in a gallon of sea water?

It depends! On what you say? Well, as an example it depends on the temperature of the sea water. The colder the water the greater the amount of DO can be contained. It depends on where the sea water is located; e.g., sea water at the mouth of the Amazon River (or at the mouth of most any river emptying into the oceans) for the fresh water from the river dilutes the salt content of the sea water there.


What is the most common substance dissolved in sea water?

Is sea water the same as water?

No. Freshwater does not have the same amount of dissolved materials as sea water. Sea water has a much greater amount of salt dissolved in it.


Why does salinity cause a decrease in dissolved oxygen?

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.


What compound are in sea water?
