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?
