Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Among Lake Havasu and Lake Tahoe, the lake that has lower concentration of oxygen gas is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Dissolution of gas in water is dependent upon the pressure applied on it. Higher the pressure, higher is the dissolution of gas in water. As the height increases, pressure starts decreasing. Therefore, dissolution of gas in water starts decreasing.
Answer to Problem 1CE
The Lake which has lower concentration of oxygen gas is Lake Tahoe.
Explanation of Solution
Dissolution of gas is dependent upon the elevation. Higher the elevation, lower will be the solubility of a gas in water. Lake Havasu is present at
The lake with lower concentration of oxygen gas is Lake Tahoe.
