Experiment No. 8
DETERMINATION OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN CONTENT OF WATER

Results:

Volume of Burette reading in mL Volume of Dissolved

Trial sample in mL Na2S2O3 used Oxygen
Initial reading Final reading in mL in mg/L
203 4.00 mL 4.85 mL 0.85 mL 850 g/mL
1
203 1.38 mL 1380 g/mL
2 5.12 mL 6.50 mL
203 1.46 mL 1460 g/mL
3 6.50 mL 7.96 mL

Volume of Na2S2O3 used = final reading – initial reading Computations:

Questions:
1. Where does dissolved oxygen come from?

2. Explain dissolved oxygen saturation.

4. What are the factors that affect the dissolved oxygen content in water? Explain how they
affect DO content.
5. Give 5 examples of freshwater organisms and their dissolved oxygen requirements.

6. Give 5 examples of saltwater organisms and their dissolved oxygen requirements
