    EXPERIMENT 6: INVESTIGATION OF OXYGEN SOLUBILITY IN WATER


    OBJECTIVE
    -To illustrate that oxygen dissolves to varying degrees under different conditions.
    .
    INTRODUCTION
    Oxygen is an essential element for all aquatic organisms that breathe. Therefore, there
    is a direct relationship between the oxygen concentrations and exchanges occurring in a water
    body, and the physiological status of aquatic organisms. Without oxygen at the bottom of the
    water body, anaerobic bacteria (those that live without oxygen) produce acids. These acids
    not only increase acidity, but also cause a massive release of phosphorus and nitrogen, two
    major fertilizers, from the organic sediment and into the water column. These same anaerobic
    bacteria put toxic gases in the water including hydrogen sulfide (that rotten egg smell),
    ammonia, carbon dioxide and methane. These gases are all toxic to fish, beneficial bacteria
    and insects.
    Fish and aquatic animals cannot split oxygen from water (H2O) or other oxygencontaining compounds. Only green plants and some bacteria can do that through
    photosynthesis and similar processes. Virtually all the oxygen we breathe is manufactured by
    green plants. A total of three-fourths of the earths oxygen supply is produced by
    phytoplankton in the oceans.
    If water is too warm, there may not be enough oxygen in it. When there are too many
    bacteria or aquatic animal in the area, they may overpopulate, using DO in great amounts.

    METHODOLOGY
    PROCEDURE
    This experiment was about to evaluate the solubility of oxygen in 4 different sources
    of water samples.

    Tap water
    Distilled water
    Rain water
    Drain water

    - A sample of tap water was took and measured (DO)


    - Then heated at 100C from room temperature.
    - The heated temperature could not exceed 500C.
    - The heated tap water was cool down to room temperature by continuous shaking and
    stirring.
    -Record the dissolved oxygen as soon as the temperature reached to the initial temperature
    which is 280C.
    -Finally, blow the tap water for about 2 minutes and record the dissolved oxygen.
    - With the table of results obtained, we draw a graph of DO(dissolved oxygen) against
    temperature.
    RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
    DO and pH
    No.

    According to this graph, we can know that the pH of samples of water doesnt affect the D.O.
    In compare the highest pH of distilled water and lowest pH of drain water.

    CONCLUSION
    In summary, the first table show the measurement of dissolved oxygen in varies
    sample, and the second table was the tap water with different temperatures. And we knew the
    relation between the samples and pH is not affect each other.
