Analysis of dissolved oxygen in river water is very essential to ensure that aquatic life is safe. As per European standards, dissolved oxygen should never be less than and preferably should be greater than . A water body having value less than is considered 'heavily polluted' and a water body having value greater than is considered optimum fit for aquatic life. One method to measure dissolved oxygen is through Winkler titration. The method involves three stages: Stage 1: The water sample is treated with excess of (aq) solution along with a base to cause the following reaction: The precipitate then reacts with dissolved oxygen as shown below. Stage 2: The solution is added with excess of acidified solution of KI to cause the following reaction: Using the above information answer the following questions: 1 If of water sample is taken then calculate the maximum sample is considered 'heavily polluted'. 2 If of water sample is taken then calculate maximum volume of solution required if the sample is considered 'optimum fit' for aquatic life. (a) (b) (c) (d) 3. Which of the following statements is correct w.r.t. above method? (a) Greater the amount of dissolved oxygen, lesser will be moles of required. (b) Excess solution in Stage 1 ensure all dissolved oxygen reacts, (c) Moles of reacted and moles of formed will be different. (d) 1 mole of dissolved oxygen will require 2 moles of for estimation.
