Solution

The correct option is C $8.0$ mg/l
The microorganisms in water decompose organic matter using dissolved oxygen. More the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, more is its purity and vice versa. Water below 5mg/l is considered contamined and water above 8mg/l is considered as uncontaminated.

So, the correct answer is "8.0mg/l".

Q. Water having dissolved oxygen content equals to

3.9 m g / L

may be considered as :-

A water contains the following dissolved ions.
$[N a^{+}] = 56 m g / L; [C a^{2 +}] = 40 m g / L;$
$[M g^{2 +}] = 30 m g / L; [A l^{3 +}] = 3 m g / L;$
$[H C O_{3}^{-}] = 190 m g / L; [C l^{-}] = 165 m g / L;$
Water $p H$ is $7$ .
Atomic weights:
$C a = 40, M g = 24, A l = 27, H = 1, C = 12, O = 16, N a = 23, C l = 35.5$
