Question

Marine life is more comfortable in warm water than cold water. True or false?

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question in a national level competition.

My doubt is from P-Block Elements topic in chapter P-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) False

For explanation: The solubility of gases in a liquid is governed by Henry’s law. It states that the partial pressure of a gas in a solution varies directly. In warmer conditions, the gas particles tend to escape from the water body leading to a lesser amount of dissolved oxygen required for comfortable aquatic conditions.
