Oxygen

be located near the surface would then provide a barrier to prevent any heat being absorbed by the water, which would then raise the water temperature above normal (refer to temperature paragraph above) as well as reducing the amount of dissolved oxygen within the water which will then evidently reduce the overall health and quality of the creek. Nevertheless, due to the fact that these suspended solids haven’t dissolved during the process of combining with the H2O polar molecules, it must then…

photosynthetic rate of the aquatic plant Egeria densa. For this experiment I used a dissolved oxygen probe to measure the dissolved oxygen content of the water with an altered pH. By tracking the dissolved oxygen content of the water I was able to monitor the photosynthetic rates of the plants with the knowledge that high levels of dissolved oxygen indicate a high rate of photosynthesis (the higher the dissolved oxygen content, the higher the photosynthetic rate of the plant). I conducted this…

What are the potential error for CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) versus oxygen in (OSA) obstructive sleep apnea? Most people with untreated OSA experience multiple episodes of hypoxemia sometimes more than hundred a night. Most patients declining CPAP treatment their doctor prescribe them oxygen for overnight use. This might help with ameliorate some risk of untreated sleep apnea. Some of the error that I notice was that that outcome measured on a continuous scale, the baseline…

What cannot be disputed, however, is the red blood cell count being raised, leading to greater oxygen capacities within the bodies of individuals who live at high altitude. This has led to four scenarios of study: “live high – train high”, “live low – train low”, “live high – train low”, and “live low – train high” (Christiansen). The most popular…

carbon dioxide which is quite acidic, the more carbon dioxide in the breath the more will be going into the water causing it to change colour faster. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct created during the production of energy. how energy is made is by using oxygen, inhaled from the air by breathing, and glucose which is a basic sugar from eating food, all through the bloodstream. By breaking the chemical bonds and rearranging them we can create different chemicals, in this case; water, Carbon dioxide…

reaction or redox reaction. Oxidation is also the gain of oxygen and loss of hydrogen while reduction is the loss of oxygen and gain of hydrogen. Redox reactions occur in everyday life, it is a highly significant form of chemical reaction. Examples of real life redox reactions include: combustion, metabolism of food, biological processes as well as the rusting of iron. Combustion- The burning of a substance causes it to react with oxygen in the air. Redox reactions occur during the combustion of…

required for life Carbon cycle All living things are made of carbon. It is also part of the ocean, rocks and even air. Earth is a dynamic place so the carbon does not stay. It is moving in the atmosphere where the carbon is attached to some oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide. We all know that plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to make their own food and grow. The carbon becomes part of the plant. Plants that die and buried will turn into fossil fuels made of carbon dioxide like…

is also toxic and has to be handled with care. Gas fueled forklifts needn’t be the major source of carbon monoxide exposure in the warehouse since complete combustion of the fuel in adequate oxygen supply results in the formation of carbon(iv)oxide and water and no carbon monoxide is emitted. Inadequate oxygen results in incomplete combustion that results in the formation of carbon monoxide. Adjusting the air and fuel mixture will therefore ensure proper engine power fuel consumption as well as…

and was slightly short of breath. He still felt sick to his stomach as well. Due to his shortness of breath he was his arterial oxygen saturation was checked and it was at 84% when he was…

the atmosphere. Living organisms use respiration to turn food into usable energy. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to take place, and produces carbon dioxide, releasing it into the air and atmosphere. The energy taken from the food molecules following digestion is used to fuel the organism, additionally when mixed with oxygen, releases carbon dioxide when exhaling. Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ ATP energy) Chemical reaction: Carbon can be released into the atmosphere through…
