Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 12.27QP
Even though the oxygen demands of trout and bass are different, they can exist in the same body of water. However, if the temperature of the water in the summer gets above about 23°C, the trout begin to die, but not the bass. Why is this the ease?

Explain how the deposition of dead plants in a lake affects dissolved oxygen concentration in that lake and how a cross-section of the lake would look like emphasising zones with high dissolved oxygen and the one with low dissolved oxygen
10.Give one example in which a high concentration
of a solute is beneficial and one example in which it is
harmful
11. Many chemicals that are potentially toxic or harmful to the
environment have maximum allowable concentration levels set
by government legislation. (a) If the chemical is dangerous,
should the limit be zero? (b) Is a zero level theoretically
possible? (c) Is a zero-level measurable? (d) If a nonzero limit is
set, in your opinion, how should this limit be chosen?
The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) sets a limit for mercury-a toxin to the central nervous system-at 0.002 ppmppm by mass. Water suppliers must periodically test their water to ensure that mercury levels do not exceed this limit. Suppose water becomes contaminated with mercury at twice the legal limit (0.004 ppmppm). How much of this water would have to be consumed for someone to ingest 43 mgmg of mercury?

In the 1986 Lake Nyos disaster (see the chapter introduction), an estimated 90 billion kilograms of CO2 was dissolved in the lake at the time. (a) What volume of gas is this at standard temperature and pressure? (b) Assuming that this dissolved gas was in equilibrium with the normal partial pressure of CO2 in the atmosphere (0.038%, or 0.29 torr), use the Henrys law constant for CO2 in water to estimate the volume of Lake Nyos.

What is the concentration of O2 in freshwater? Air temperature= 295.65 K. Air pressure = 1 bar(about = to 1atm). Henry's constant, from the table= 1.3 x 10-3 mol/ (kg x bar). PO2 can be calculated from the fact that oxygen is .21 mole fraction of air.
Hint- The partial pressure of a gas in a mix of gasses is found by multiplying the total pressure by the mole fraction of that gas.
Find the concentration in g/kg from the answer you just got.
