UNIT 1-C INVESTIGATING THE
CAUSE OF THE FISH KILL
C.1
1. Define solubility
- THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SOLUTE THAT
WILL DISSOLVE IN A GIVEN AMOUNT OF
SOLVENT – AT A GIVEN TEMPERATURE.
- EX. – SUGAR IN WATER AT 25C – SOLUBILITY
IS 15g SUGAR / 100 g WATER
2. List the two factors that do not affect how much of a
substance can dissolve?
- EVERYTHING DISSOLVES TO SOME EXTENT
- THINGS THAT READILY DISSOLVE = SOLUBLE
- THINGS THAT HARDLY DISSOLVE AT ALL =
INSOLUBLE
3. Define saturated
- SATURATED = THE SOLVENT HOLDS AS
MUCH SOLUTE AS IT CAN
- UNSATURATED = SOLVENT CAN HOLD MORE
SOLUTE
- SUPERSATURATED = UNSTABLE SITUATION
CREATED WHERE SOLVENT HOLDS MORE
SOLUTE THAN IT SHOULD
- SOLUBILITY CURVES – GRAPHICALLY SHOW
SOLUBILITY VS. TEMPERATURE
4. If you have a horizontal line of solubility what does
that show for the substance graphed?
5. A solubility line with a steep incline tells you what
about the relationship of the solute to water?
6. Each point plotted on the solubility line tell you what
about that substance?
7. What do points below the line show?
8. Where on a solubility graph would you find a
supersaturated solution?
9. What will happen to the solubility of a solid in water
when the temperature of the water is lowered?
10. In contrast, what will happen to the solubility of a
GAS when the temperature of the water is lowered?
11. List the two factors that a gas’s solubility is
dependent on?
Some help on Your Turn pg. 44 –
- What is the solubility of KNO3 at 80C?
- At what temperature will the solubility of dissolved
oxygen be 10 mg / 1000 mg of water ?
- How much KNO3 will dissolve in 200 g of water at
80C?
C.2
Concentration – a quantitative measurement of solute in
a certain amount of solvent
EXAMPLE – the concentration of sugar in a water
solution – given in PERCENT SOLUTION =
( g solute / g solution) x 100
- PERCENT SOLUTION also called pph
- Can also have ppt, and ppm solution concentrations
1) Another way to tell the concentration of a solution is
by using percentage. What would be the % concentration
of a solution containing 10 grams of salt dissolved in 90
grams of water? What would the concentration be in
pph? In ppt? In ppm?
2) The concentration of seawater is 3g salt/100g of salt
water. What is its concentration in pph. Show work and
units___________
3) At 26 °C water is saturated with oxygen when 8
mg(.008grams) of oxygen is dissolved in 1000g of water.
What is the concentration of oxygen in ppm? Show
work________________
4) At 20 °C 1000g of water must have 5.4 mg or .0054g
of Oxygen for fish to survive. Calculate this
concentration in ppm. Show work and units
5) A solution which has .00005 g of lead ion dissolved in
1000g of water is considered dangerous to human health.
Calculate the concentration in ppm
Show work and units
C.3 – OXYGEN
What do aquatic organisms need to survive?
What interferes with the oxygen supply to aquatic
organisms?
Describe how oxygen dissolves in water.
Describe photosynthesis.
List the photosynthesis equation.
What is the name of the oxygen - consuming bacteria
that aquatic organisms compete with?
What do these organisms feed on?
When are aquatic creatures at risk?
Define DO.
The amount of dissolved oxygen that fish needs is?
Some fish require more oxygen than others
What sort of water does trout live in?
What sort of water do catfish live in?
- Every animal requires O2 for Aerobic respiration
- Organisms that live in water get O2 dissolved in water,
not the O in H2O
- 3 ways O2 can become dissolved in the H2O
- Direct contact w/ the atmosphere
- Aeration – water “churned w/ air”
- Photosynthesis of aquatic plants
6CO2 + 6H2O
C6H12O6 + 6O2
- Aerobic bacteria use up O2
- Live off of wastes – natural or otherwise
- Lots of “food” for bacteria = population explosion
- Less O2 for other aquatic animals
- Dissolved Oxygen levels below 4 ppm = fishies die
C.4 – Temperature and solubility of gases
As water temperature INCREASES, what happens to the
solubility of gases?
Besides temperature, what other factor effects the
solubility of gases?
If the temperature of the water increased 10 C what
happens to chemical reactions of the fish?
Explain the purpose of refrigeration.
When water temperatures increase what happens to
the temperature of the fish?
If the temperature of the water is raised, the fish's
chemical reactions are what?
The fish now require what, since the temperature of
the water is increased?
Consider aerobic bacteria, what effect does raising
the temperature of water have on aerobic bacteria?
Explain what causes a fish kill after a warm spell.
What type of pollution would explain a raise in
water temperature in Snake River?
- High temperatures = increased metabolism of fishies
- Increased metabolism = more O2 use
- Lower temperatures = decreased metabolism
- Decreased metabolism = less O2 use
- O2 gas solubility decreases at higher temperatures
- Fish kills often happen in the summer!
- High water temperature can be caused naturally – or
by man – thermal pollution
C.6 – ACID CONTAMINATION
Q. – What do we usually associate with the terms acidic
or basic?
ACIDS
- usually have a H+ that can be easily released into
solution
- H usually written first (i.e. HCl)
- Examples ?
BASES
- usually have an OH- that can be easily released into
solution
- OH usually written last (i.e. NaOH)
- Examples?
- ACIDS and BASES can get together to make neutral
solutions
pH SCALE –tells us how to classify substances as
ACIDIC, BASIC, or NEUTRAL
pH SCALE goes from 0 – 14
0 – 7 = ACIDIC
7 = NEUTRAL
7 – 14 = BASIC
Q. Where does ACID RAIN come from?
Q. Guess what area of the US is responsible for the
majority of the ACID RAIN contamination of water
sources in Canada?
C.7 – IONS & IONIC COMPOUNDS
Atoms that are charged are called ?
What are + ions called?
What are – ions called?
What do you get when you put positive ions and negative
ions together to have a net charge of 0 ?
When we write IONIC COMPOUNDS, we write the
cations first, and anions last
Example – NaCl CaCl2
When we name IONIC COMPOUNDS – name the
cation as usual, drop the last few letters of the anion and
add “ide”
Example
– NaCl = Sodium Chloride
- CaCl2 = Calcium Chloride
- HF = ?
- KBr = ?
Q. - What do we call these funky ions like (SO4)2- ?

so many things?

particles attracted to one another (i.e. NaCl)
- Molecular – held together by the sharing of
electrons (i.e. H2O)
- There are 2 major types of molecular compounds
- Polar – unequal sharing of electrons (i.e. CH3OH)
- Non-polar - equal sharing of electrons (i.e. N2)
