[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

91Ó°ÊÓ

Thermal pollution from industrial wastewater causes the temperature of river or lake water to increase, which can affect fish survival as the concentration of dissolved O2. decreases. Use the following data to find the molarity of O2at each temperature (assume the solution density is the same as water):

Temperature (C∘) solubility of O2(mg/kgH2O) density of H2O (g/mL)

0.0 14.5 0.99987

20.0 9.07 0.99823

40.0 6.04 0.99224

Short Answer

Expert verified

At 0∘Cmolarity of O2is 4.53×10-4mol/L, at 20∘Cmolarity of O2is 2.82×10-4mol/Land at molarity of O2is 1.87×10-4mol/L.

Step by step solution

01

Definitions

Molarity is defined as the number of moles per litre solution.

Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature.

The density of a substance is its mass in per unit volume.

02

molarity of O2 at 0∘C

It is given that the solubility and density of O2change with change in temperature.

Given solubility = (14.5mg O2)(1 kg H2O)=(14.5mg O2)(106mg H2O)


One mole oxygen contains 32 grams of oxygen. Hence, (1mol O2)(32gO2)

Given density of water =(0.99987 g)mL=0.99987g(10-3 L)

By using all the above factors molarity of oxygen can be calculated as follows


role="math" localid="1663392619761" molarity ofO2=(14.5 mg O2)(106 mg H2O)×(1 mol O2)(32g O2)×0.99987g(10-3 L)

  =4.53×10-4mol/L

03

molarity of O2 at  40∘C

At 400C given solubility =(6.04 mg O2)(1 kgH2O)=(6.04 mg O2)(106 mg H2O)

Density of water = 0.99224gmL=0.99224g10-3L

By using all the above factors molarity of oxygen can be calculated as follows

molarityofO2=6.40mgO2106mgH2O×1molO232gO2×0.99224g10-3L=1.87×10-4mol/L
