The minimum mass concentration of oxygen required for fish life is 4mgL-1.

a.) assume the density of lake water to be 1.00gml-1, and express this concentration in parts per million (which is equivalent to milligrams of O2 per kilogram of water, m.kg-1

b.) what is the minimum partial pressure of O2 that would supply the minimum mass concentration of oxygen in water to support fish life at 20 degrees C

c.) What is the minimum atmospheric pressure that would give this partial pressure, assuming that oxygen exerts about 21% of the atmospheric pressure?

(I would prefer a typed response if possible, thanks)

Assume that all the mass of a galaxy is in a massive uniform density ball of stars (called bulge by astronomers), with a radius of 1 kpc. The total mass of this bulge is 3 × 1010 M⊙ The volume of a sphere with radius R is: 4/3πR3. The observed rotation curve of the galaxy is flat from 1 to 8 kpc from the center. Astronomers claim that this must be due to the presence of dark matter. How much...

The concentration of oxygen inside a 5000 L tank at 1 atm is to reduced by pressure purging prior to charging a fuel into the tank. The tank is charged with nitrogen up to a high pressure and then vented down to atmospheric pressure. If the process is repeated, the concentation of the oxygen will decrease. It is possible to do this many times in order to ultimately reach desired concentration. You can assume that a fully charge tank contains...
