Dissolved Oxygen Lab Questions 1. How does temperature affect the solubility of oxygen in water? 2. Would you expect to find higher dissolved oxygen content in a body of water in winter or summer? 3. Discuss how each of the following factors could influence the dissolved oxygen concentration of a body of water: o Wind: o Temperature: o Altitude: 4. Do you think it would be wise to stock a pond with game fish if it had a dissolved oxygen content of 3ppm? Why or why not?
5. Below is a graph of dissolved oxygen levels in a body of water. Represented on the Y-axis is the amount of dissolved oxygen in mg/liter. The X-axis is unlabeled but represents a period of time. Examine the graph and place time values on the X-axis. Explain why you chose the time values and the event or events that occurred over that period. 6. In the first part of the experiment, were any of the samples light-limited? Why? 7. What is used as the basis for measuring primary productivity? 10 11 12 100% Saturation 8 9 O₂ mg/L 6 7 Time
