The solubility of oxygen in water is temperature-dependent, and about twice as much (14.6 mg·L−1) dissolves at 0 °C than at 20 °C. To illustrate, recall bubbles forming in a pot of water right before it begins to boil; these bubbles are oxygen that was dissolved at room temperature, but is being ejected as the temperature rises. Oxygen can slip into the crevasses or “holes” that exist in the loose hydrogen-bonded network of water molecules without forcing them apart. A very physical perspective on solubility of oxygen in water is that when the water is colder, the water molecules move less, and the oxygen remains trapped in the aqueous solution.

Is there more oxygen in shallow water then deep water?
No. There is more oxygen in deeper water.
How does a cloud hold water?
i think that clouds hold their water by saturation. so when the water gets more heavy then the cloud the water turns into droplets(rain). i know that this is not the best answer but at least i tried.
How does the density of seawater vary with changes in temperature?
As seawalter gets colder it becomes more dense, so cold sea water is more dense than warmer water.
What gives more oxygen to the atmosphere?
Plankton gives more oxygen to the atmosphere.
Is it true or false that aquifers hold more than 95 percent of the earth's fresh water supply?
yes
Why is oxygen bad in water?
Cold water can hold more dissolved oxygen than warmer water.
How much air is in hot water Is there more air in cold water under the same pressure of course?
Colder water can hold more oxygen than warmer water.
Which one of the following regions would you expect to find the largest amounts of dissolved oxygen in the ocean water?
In the polar regions, there is more dissolved oxygen in the ocean water. The cold water is able to hold more dissolved gases than warm water.
Why does cold air hold more water?
It doesn't. Warm air can hold more water, as it has more energy to retain water in a gaseous state.
Why aquatic species feel comfortable in cold water rather than warm water?
Fish survive better in cold water then in warm water because :- 1) Cold water has more oxygen and more oxygen means more microscopic life which means more food. 2) In Cold water there is more solubility of the carbon dioxide released by the fish
What are the reasons plants are more abundant in cold seas than warm seas?
Because cold water absorbs more oxygen*
Can hot or cold water hold more salt?
Hot water will hold more salt than cold water, because solubility of solids is proportional to temperature. That is, it increases with temperature.
Can hot air hold more or less water than cold air?
Hot air can hold much more water because they are compacted and not spaced out.
Can hot air or cold air hold more water?
warm air hold more water vapor...unless it doesnt like sandwiches between its toes at 5 o'clock in the after noon
More oxygen will in colder water than in warmer water?
The warmer the water the less oxygen it holds.
How does cold temperature affect the oxygen in cold water?
Oxygen and other gases can dissolve in water just like solid solutes (such as sugar or salt).The total amount of oxygen that can be dissolved in water depends on a number of factors, one of which being temperature. Unlike most solids, gases dissolve better in colder solvent. Colder water can hold more dissolved O2. Therefore, as water is warmed, the oxygen and other atmospheric gases come out of solution.You can see this happen if you take a sealed bottle of cold water and let it warm up slowly at room temperature. Disregarding the droplets of condensation that might form on the outside of the bottle, you can see tiny bubbles forming along the interior walls of the bottle.Marine biologists postulate that it is cold water's ability to hold greater concentrations of oxygen that allows polar marine species such as king crab and deep-sea jellyfish to grow so large.On a more practical note, this is also why you should open fizzy drinks when the liquid is cold to prevent losing more carbon dioxide (unless you enjoy flat soda).
Does Hot Water Hold More Sugar Than Cold Water?
Hot water dissolves the sugar particles faster than cold because of energy. The higher energy allows faster moving of particles as they are more energetic and this helps dissolve the sugar.
