The Dead Sea on the Jordan-Israel border is the world's lowest lake (-430 m) with an atmospheric pressure of 106 kPa. If the Dead Sea were composed of freshwater at 0 oC, what would be the concentration of dissolved O2? The salinity of the Dead Sea is ~8 times higher than sea water. How would this affect the solubility of oxygen?

Fluoridation of city water supplies has been practiced in the United States for several decades. It is done by continuously adding sodium fluoride to water as it comes from a reservoir. Assume you live in a medium-sized city of 150,000 people and that 660 L (170 gal) of water is used per person per day. What mass of sodium fluoride (in kilograms) must be added to the water supply each year (365 days) to have the required fluoride concentration of 1 ppm (part per million)that is, 1 kilogram of fluoride per 1 million kilograms of water? (Sodium fluoride is 45.0% fluoride, and water has a density of 1.00 g/cm3.)
