Does anyone know websites saying what is waste made up of and how it effects the amount of oxygen in water?

well, i do know there's this blue chemical called biochemical oxygen demand(BOD) which is used to see how polluted water is from different sources. like, if you compare drain water and pond water. so if you put few drops in each water, and wait for one day, you'll realise that drain water isnt as blue as pond water coz drain water is more polluted. since there are more waste compared to pond water, so there'll be less oxygen. so yeah.

A certain amount of our oxygen comes from trees.  One article claims that 70% comes from the trees in the rainforest.  Of course a conflicting article says that 30% of our oxygen comes from trees.  I'd be interested to know the truth.  (I believe the truth is that most of our oxygen comes from ocean plants.)  The fact is, though, that oxygen comes to us through photosynthesis.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_cycle  Trees are one source of the oxygen we breathe on this planet.   Bacteria, algae, and all other plants also contribute.\n\nThere are a few things that come to my mind when discussing the preservation of the world's forests.  Trees are a renewable resource.  If harvested responsibly, the older and unhealthy trees are taken, and the younger, healthier trees are left to grow and reseed the forest.  In the long run, you end up with healthier forests that continue producing trees at a sustainable rate.\n\nWhen developing an area, land may be cleared of trees and forests may be destroyed.  In that case, the forest will not reseed and grow back.  That part of the forest is gone.  Many areas have laws about the size of a piece of land that one can clear-cut, although some do not.  There are no laws providing for the contribution of trees to another piece of land as a way to reclaim the forest lost to development.\n\nIn the case of coffee growers, etc, land is clear-cut to make fields for growing the more lucrative crops.  While no one can really blame anyone for wanting to make money, I believe this type of deforestation is destroying the rainforests.  As long as individuals are allowed to own land, there will be arguments about how much authority the private citizen has over land use.\n\nSome forests are lost naturally to fire.\n\nThere are small things that a person can do to help slow the deforestation process.  First, manage the land that is in your care well.  If you own land, be aware of the health of your trees.  Are you considering logging off your back forty?   Be responsible.  Choose a responsible forester and loggers that respect the remaining trees.  Smaller logging operations may be more apt to manage the project with less damage to the trees that are to be left.  Remember, the logger makes money off your trees, too.  Be sure you pay attention to the project and understand what is being cut.  In many cases, a forest can be logged again in 10 years.\n\nIf you are developing an area for a house lot, carefully consider what it is that you really wish to cut?  Do you really want to clear all ten acres?  Would you have just as beautiful a view and maybe a prettier landscape if you leave the nicer hardwoods?  Remember the animals that a small softwood cluster would attract.  Think about the shade that trees provide and the colors of the autumn foliage just before winter covers that land.  Make your choices wisely, and remember the benefit of the trees to the rest of the world -- even those who will never see your lovely new home.\n\nIn the case development by business, support those business that care for the land.   If you spend your money in support of responsible businesses, if everyone does, then it will be more lucrative for that business to continue to be responsible.  If it appears over the course of doing business that no one cares, the people operating the business may decide it isn't worth the effort.  Responsibility has rewards, but it also has a price.  Support responsible businesses.\n\nLikewise, consider the rainforest.  If you are concerned with the deforestation of the rainforest, as we all should be, consider giving up some of the products that you enjoy that have been harvested from land that was once rainforest.  Although that forest is already gone, if there isn't demand for those products, if consumption falls, that act could lessen the "need" to cut more forests.  Seriously, I drink a lot of coffee and continue to do so.  I'm not sure what sort of a dent this on

There's a formula in this article:\nhttp://www.naturodoc.com/library/nutrition/water.htm

Many materials can react with ozone to form oxygen as a by-product.  Most all are reducing agents.  A more definitive answer rests on how you are using the term "element".  If you are using it the periodic table sense then your answer would include many of the metals capable of being oxidized.

Its got nothing to do with oxygen, that theories been scientifically disproven. But i dont have another answer, sorry

Now, THAT is what I call a challenging question! It requires some thinking in addition to the book-ish knowledge and I love it! But, before I continue with my answer, I'd just like to correct one statement:- "I know that peroxide reacts with metals and glass", It does NOT. Metals and glass act as catalysts i.e. they accelerate the reaction of conversion of Peroxide into Water and Oxygen but they don't participate in the reaction.\n\nNow coming to your question, the varying levels of fumes that you are observing have nothing to do with an organic reaction.\n\nLet's address all your situations one-by-one:\n======= ========== ============\n1- When you pour it around the faucet and it bubbles furiously around the crud and not on the spigot itself.\nThe reaction going on in there is the same ol' Peroxide converting to Water and Oxygen.\nOne molecule of Peroxide (liquid) ----> One molecule of Water (Liquid) + Half molecule of Oxygen (gaseous)\n\nWhich is Symbolically-\nH202 (l) -------> H2O (l) + (1/2)O2 (g)\n\nIt's just that the reaction takes place at a faster rate around the crud around the base! \n\nIn general, ANY rough surface acts as a CATALYST for this reaction. Try it yourself, put some peroxide on a smooth surface and then put some on a rough surface. You can easily see that it fumes and bubbles more on a rough surface. It is because on a rough surface there is more AMOUNT of surface on a given area due to all the unevenness of the surface. And more area accomodates more peroxide which leads to more reaction for a given area and hence a faster rate.\n\n======= ========== ============\n2. When you drop earings into peroxide, the whole earings don't bubble only the "gunk" does and when that's gone it stops!\n\nHmm.. This required a little bit of thought process: The "gunk" in your earrings can be two things-\na) Deposition of Dust or dead skin-\nIf this is the case, then the answer would be- "Rough surfaces and dust CATALYZE the reaction of conversion of Perxide into Water and Oxygen which I have already metioned."\n\nb) Deposition of METAL OXIDE because of rusting or corrosion  or tarnishing of your earring.\nNow, if THIS is the case, then the bubbles are coming out due to the REDUCTION reaction by peroxide in the acidic medium.\nLet's see what's happening in there-\nThe Metal Oxide on the surface of your metal earrings is an oxidising agent i.e. it releases Oxygen (Oxygen atom). In presence of an oxidising agent, the Peroxide acts as a reducing agent. It reacts with the oxygen atom like this-\n\nH2O2 (Peroxide) + [O] (Oxygen atom from the rust) -----> H20 (Water) + O2 (Oxygen molecule)\n\nYou can see that Oxygen is being released here, THAT CAUSES THE BUBBLES!\n\n======= ========== ============\n3- It bubbles on cuts but, not on normal skin!\nWhoa whoa whoa... Don't put it on your skin, the reaction of it's conversion to water is exothermic (gives out heat) and sometimes, explosive!\nNow, to answer the question, it might be the tiny dust particles in your abrasion that could be triggerin' off the decomposition reaction & causing the release of Oxygen gas bubbles \nOR as you might be knowing that the pH of the blood is MORE THAN 7, i.e. it is basic or alkaline in nature AND in alkaline solution, this reaction takes place-\nFerrous(Iron) Ions (Fe +3) + Peroxide (H2O2) + Hydroxyl Ions (OH-) ----------> Ferric (Iron) Ions (Fe 2+) + Water (H20) + OXygen Molecules\n\nDid you see that? One of the products in the reaction up there was Oxygen molecules!! Now, that means that we are gonna have some bubbles there as Oxygen gas is gonna bubble baby!\n\nP.S. This is perhaps the longest answer I have ever typed in my entire life!

7.04 grams\n\n15 grams of water is .44 mol and according to the equation, the ratio between water and oxygen is2:1 so if .44 mol of water is decomposed. then .22 mol of oxygen will be produced. and .22 mol of oxygen is .22 *32 =7.04grams

My thought is air as well. Air is composed of around 2/3s part of Nitrogen. Oxygen is a much smaller amount

Hydrogen and oxygen.  together, it's water.  Seperately, one is a powerful oxidizer that can, at high doses, attach tissues and potentially cause cancer; the other a powerful explosive gas.

You need to be a little more specific. Would that be in water quality, oxygen in blood, or soil? To measure water quality they just use dissolved oxygen meter, which exploits the electrochemical properties of the water. Or you could do a Winkler titration.

Specifically, water binds to the mixture, and blocks free oxygen from reaching the material to be oxidized-its a simple smothering reaction, and is why water is effective for putting out fires.  Salt is also effective, but is reduced by the relatively large size of the particles which allows some oxygen in.  There is no specific inhibition of the oxidization reaction other than this-water is neutral to this reaction, except as a space inhibitor.

In B, oxygen is a waste product of photosynthesis, but oxygen can also be produced in D. In electrolytic cells the electrolysis of salt water or acidic water is an  example of electrolysis. The ionic solution is driven by current and produces hydrogen gas in a reduction reaction at the cathode using electrons to complete the hydrogen ions. At the anode OXYGEN gas is produced in an oxidizing reaction and electrons are given off as the oxygen ions combine.

If you REALLY want to know about this take a look at my source.  But I can summarize it for you.  Think of water as something that assists chemical reactions in a cell.  Without it the cell is powerless.\n\nWater also acts as a transportation mechanism to "take out the trash", as well as "bring in the goods."  As far as energy goes, this is something that is driven by the Kreb Cycle in the Mitochondria of a cell. This process actually produces water.
