The dissolved oxygen decreases when?

The dissolved oxygen decreases when? Correct Answer The salinity is increased

Dissolved oxygen decreases exponentially as salt levels increase. That is why, at the same pressure and temperature, saltwater holds about 20% less dissolved oxygen than freshwater.

Mine water flowing at 1.5 m3/s with 2 mg/l dissolved oxygen, joins riverwater flowing at 7 m3/s containing 6 mg/l dissolved oxygen. The saturated value of the dissolved oxygen in the mixture is given to be 9.3 mg/l. On the basis, the initial oxygen deficit of the mixture in mg/l is
In a well aerated and agitated microbial culture, the 'supply' of oxygen is equal to 'demand' (uptake) of the growing culture. The KLa for such a system will be (KLa = volumetric mass transfer coefficient, C* = dissolved oxygen concentration in liquid in equilibrium with gaseous oxygen, C = instantaneous value of dissolved oxygen concentration, 'r' = specific oxygen uptake rate per unit weight of cells, X = dry weight of the cells per unit volume)

III. In peroxide, an Oxygen atom is assigned an oxidation number of -1 and in Superoxide, each oxygen atom is assigned an oxidation number of -1/2.
A bacterial culture having a specific oxygen uptake rate of 5 mmol O2 (g DCW)-1 hr-1 is being grown aerobically in a fed-batch bioreactor. The maximum value of the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient is 0.18 s-1 for the stirred tank bioreactor and the critical dissolved oxygen concentration is 20% of the saturation concentration (8 mg mL-1). The maximum density to which the cells can be grown in the fed-batch process without the growth being limited by oxygen transfer, is approximately
