AI Thread Summary
Submersion in cold water can lead to survival in drowning cases due to several physiological factors. Cold temperatures slow down metabolic processes, reducing the body's oxygen demand and allowing for a longer survival time without oxygen. In contrast, warmer water increases metabolic rates, leading to quicker depletion of oxygen in the body. Additionally, oxygen solubility is higher in cold water, but the key factor is the body's response to temperature. In warmer conditions, the rapid movement of water molecules can cause oxygen to escape more easily, further diminishing the oxygen available for survival. Overall, the combination of slowed metabolism and oxygen conservation in cold water contributes to the potential for revival after drowning.

People who have been submerged in very cold water, and presumed drowned, have sometimes been revived. By contrast, people who have been submerged for a similar period of time in warmer water have not survived. Suggest reasons for this difference.

I know this has to do with the fact that higher temperatures increase the rates of reaction because more particles collide with enough energy to react. But I am not sure of how to relate that to this question.

Thanks!

Think how fast oxygen is used by the tissues.
 
Is it because oxygen dissolves more easily in cold water than in warm water? Also because when the water is warmer, its molecules move and vibrate faster, making it easier for oxygen molecules to escape from solutions?
 
No, it is not about amount of oxygen dissolved in water. It is about oxygen in the body.

Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'

I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...
