3. Think about what you know about the solubility of gases and how it changes with temperature, Since it is likely that water near the surface of would be warmer on a than feet below the surface, where should a fish go if it is starved for water a few oxygen on sunny day? 3.

Explanation / Answer

Solubility of the gases in water is inversely proportional to the temperature of the water. So as the temperature of water increaes the solubility of the gases in water decreases. Now we know surface temperature of water will be higher so the dissolved oxygen content at the surface will be lower, in at feet below the qater surface temperature is relatively low ans hence dissolved oxygen content willbbe higher and hence fiah should go to feet below the surface.
