`this method gives the same
`result

`
`SOLUBILITY OF OXYGEN IN SEA WATER.
`By George C. Whipple
`and Melville
`C. Whipple.
`Received December 19,
`that oxygen is less soluble in sea water
`It
`is a well recognized fact
`than in fresh water, and that in brackish water the solubility is interme-
`diate, varying with the amount of chlorine present.
`In studying the pollu-
`tion of the waters of harbors it
`is often desirable to express the amount
`of oxygen present in terms of “per cent, of saturation.”
`Inasmuch as
`the proportion of sea water varies considerably in different samples it is
`not easy to determin this percentage on account of the lack of convenient
`tables showing the amount of oxygen dissolved in saturated waters con-
`taining different amounts of chlorine. For this reason
`the authors have
`investigated the literature on the subject and have prepared a convenient
`table for use.
`the solubility of oxygen in sea
`investigations of
`One of
`the earliest
`water was made by Prof. William Ditmar, of Anderson’s College, Glas-
`in connection with the Challenger expedition.1 His method con-
`gow,
`sisted of boiling off the dissolved gases, collecting and analyzing them.
`His results have been much used. They show the variations in the
`of oxygen in “sea water” dissolved at different temperatures,
`amount
`but do not state fully the corresponding amounts of chlorine in the water
`used for the experiments.
`In connection with the study of the amount of dissolved oxygen in the
`Thames River, Clowes and Houston carried on some experiments on the
`solubility of oxygen in distilled water, sea water, and mixtures of the
`two in different proportions, at
`temperatures between 13.8o and 16° C.2
`The data thus secured, taken in connection -with the known variations

`peratures, have been used as the basis of determining the per cent, of
`saturation in brackish waters.
`the subject demanded further in-
`the importance of
`Believing that
`the authors undertook some
`careful experiments to deter-
`vestigation,
`min the solubility of dissolved oxygen in sea water of known chlorine
`temperatures of o°, 10 °, 20 °, and 30 °. Winkler’s method
`content at
`was used. Saturation was obtained by forcing a current of air through
`three liters of water
`in a bottle so jacketed that a constant
`temperature
`intervals and continued
`was obtained. Determinations were made at
`Until a constant result was
`reached. This sometimes took several hours.
`in progress we
`While these experiments were
`received, through the
`courtesy of Dr. Howard T. Barnes, of McGill University, a paper by Dr.
`“The Coefficients of Absorption of Nitrogen and
`Charles J. J. Fox, on
`Oxygen in Distilled Water and Sea Water and of Atmospheric Carbonic
`Acid in Sea Water,”1 which covered the ground so completely that
`it
`seemed unnecessary for us to continue our work, especially as the results
`obtained by Fox agreed with our own, as far as they had been carried.
`Fox’s results were obtained by exposing the water
`to an atmosphere
`of pure dry oxygen and measuring the quantity of gas dissolved. For
`the practical use of water analysts it is necessary to transform the data
`thus obtained into the units commonly used, namely, milligrams per
`liter, or parts per million. Fox himself has given a table in which the
`results are expressed in terms of cubic centimeters of oxygen absorbed
`per liter from a dry free atmosphere containing 20.9 per cent, of oxygen at
`760 mm. pressure, as follows:
