For fish to survive in your aquarium, you need to have a saturated solution of oxygen in the water. Suppose your aquarium holds 250L of water. How many grams of oxygen do you need to pump into the tank?

The mass of oxygen needed to be pumped in the aquarium is 10 g

Explanation:

Here the value of the degree of solubility of oxygen in water is sought

The solubility of oxygen in fresh water is approximately 1.22 × 10⁻³ mol·dm⁻³ which is equivalent to approximately 40 mg/L

The volume of water the aquarium holds = 250 L

The mass of oxygen required = The solubility of oxygen in water × (The volume of water in the aquarium)

Therefore, the mass of oxygen needed to be pumped in the aquarium = 40 mg/L × 250 L = 10,000 mg

1,000 mg = 1 g

∴ 10,000 mg = 10 g

The mass of oxygen needed to be pumped in the aquarium = 10,000 mg = 10 g.

petroleum? coal maybe?
