Given:
- dioxide is being disolved in water.
- c=8mg/l
- V_water=10,0 liters
- T = 25 °C = 298,15K
- p = 1013 hPa
The question is: 'how much volume dioxide kan disolve maximally in 10,0 liters of water at a temperature of 25°C and pressure of 1013hPa?
The answer is 61,1mL, however when I solve this problem my answer is 6,11mL. Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

First, O₂ is dioxygen, not "dioxide".

You are using the concentration in mg/L, and working out the volume that dissolves in 1L. You are asked for the volume that can dissolve in 10L.

So c= n_{dissolved substance}/V_substance here I can say that V _substance = 10 liters? I though that this is incorrect since V _substace is equal to V_water+V_dioxygen = 10 liters + x liters or am I understanding this formula incorrectly? I do understand my mistake now but I don't understand this formula.

Such a small amount of oxygen dissolved in water practically does not increase its volume.

You have calculated the volume of oxygen dissolved in 1 L of water in the longest possible way. How much oxygen will there be in 10 liters of water?

Ah yes the volume of oxygen would not really increase it's volume indeed, I understand. You said I have calculated the volume in a very inefficient way? How could I do this faster/more efficiently please?

Thank you very much.
