chemistry IA 2016 syllabus

Im planning my chemistry (2016 syllabus)
 

Im very interested in environmental chemistry, and since the new syllabus is going to put  a lot of emphasis on personal engagement, i thought it was important to think about that. 

 

I want to investigate the effect of increasing ocean salinity on the concentration of dissolved oxygen. 
So my plan is to prepare different solutions of different salinity ==> here is some chemistry maths..

Then Im planning on measuring the oxygen content using a sensor. 
I have a hypothesis, backed up by solubility theory which i can support or reject. 

I can prove a trend or disprove a trend. 

 

HOWEVER, is the design of my experiment TOO simple? I am very concerned about this, but similar, I know that i can get quantitative results. I can calculate uncertainties, errors etc. 

 

Qualitative results.. not much, but I can always comment on what i observe about the different saline solutions. 

I know that i could use the Wrinkler method to determine oxygen concentration as well, but I REALLY dont want to spent a lot of time on this because I did my EE in chemistr and im HL student, so i got enough alreaady now. 
Please I hope you can help
