Why are aquatic species more confortable in cold water in comparison to warm water ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is note worthy that the values of Henry.s law constant `(K_(H))` increase with decrease of temeprature. It is due to this reason that at a given pressure the solubility of oxygen in water increases with decrease in temperature. Therefore, presence of more oxygen at lower temperature makes the aquatic species more confortable in cold water in comparison to warm water.

If two glass plates have water between them and are separated by very small distance (see figure). It is very difficult to pull them apart. It is because the water in between forms cylindrical surface on the side that gives rise ot lower pressure in the water in comparison to atmosphere. If the radius of the cylindrical surface is R and surface tension of water is T then the pressure in water between the plates is lowr by:
