Quantitative analysis
Standard Information
Dissolved oxygen
-What is dissolved oxygen (DO), and why is it important for aquatic ecosystems?
-What are the factors that can affect the level of dissolved oxygen (DO), and how do they affect it?
-What are the main sources of dissolved oxygen in natural water bodies, and how do the oxygen particles enter the water bodies?
-How do human activities impact dissolved oxygen levels in water?
-What is hypoxia, and what causes it in aquatic environments?
-How does water stratification affect dissolved oxygen distribution?
-What are some common methods used to measure dissolved oxygen levels?
Why do fish and other aquatic organisms require a minimum level of DO to survive?
What are some potential consequences of low dissolved oxygen levels in water bodies?
Winkler Method
Key questions:
-What is the Winkler Method?
-What are the steps of testing ? (chemicals and equipment used, reaction equations and colour changes)
-What are the limitations of the Winkler method?
