Ozone Solubility in Water and Its Potential Health Impact

AI Thread Summary
In a discussion about saturating a 60-liter water tank with ozone at 600 ORP using an airstone, concerns were raised regarding the potential for ozone gas to diffuse into the atmosphere, particularly regarding inhalation risks. It was confirmed that if the tank is open, ozone will indeed leak out, though the extent of this leakage and its potential harm is uncertain. To manage ozone levels in the water, it was suggested to monitor the concentration and add ozone as needed, focusing on maintaining a lower limit rather than worrying about the upper limit.

Hi everyone

Let say i have a 60 liters water tank filled with tap water (no fluoride). And i keep this 60 liters of water saturated with ozone at 600 ORP for 24 hours. The saturation method is just simple airstone zone diffusing method.
so, will this ozone gas leaks(or diffuse out) out to the atmosphere from the ozone saturated water?

i am asking this because I am worried about the ozone inhaling problem.

Thank you

I assume tank is opened (otherwise you wouldn't be able to use an airstone because of the pressure buildup). If so, there will be definitely some ozone leaks. Whether they will be large enough for the ozone to be harmful is another question.
 
Hi Borek
Thank you for your reply.
Do you have any idea how to make keep the un-dissolved ozone level low in the water solutions?

Thank you
 
Not sure what your question is. In general to keep the concentration at some level you should monitor it and add ozone when the concentration goes under the lower limit. With some knowledge about dynamics of the concentration changes there is no need to monitor the upper limit.
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
