Freshwater eels make notorious aquatic pets and are quite a challenge to keep in aquariums. This is primarily because they are more active and require a higher concentration of dissolved oxygen to survive. You are considering whether to buy an oxygen filter for your eel (that you've unfortunately bought before!). Henry's constant for oxygen in water is 7.69 x 102 mol kg¹ bar¹ and the eel needs 0.95 mol kg¹ of dissolved oxygen content to survive. Determine the concentration of dissolved oxygen under STP conditions. Report you answer is units of mol kg ¹ and to 3 sig figs.
