Solution Summary

This solution includes calculations for volume, dissolved oxygen, water vapor pressure, and moles and mass of sugar needed.

Solution Preview

Molecular weight of sugar = 12*12 + 1*22 + 16*11 = 342 gm
Molecular weight of Oxygen = 32 gm

Dissolved oxygen,
DO = {(P-p)/(35+t)} - 0.678

For P = 1 ...
