Does warm water or cold water have a higher concentration of oxygen gas?

The solubility of oxygen is higher in cold water. For example, at 0 degrees C saturation is 14.7 mg/L; and at 30 degrees C it is only 7.4 mg/L. That's why some fish struggle in very warm water; not as much oxygen available.

Are plants more abundant in cold water or hot water?
cold water
Why does it hurt more when you run your cold feet under hot water than cold water?
same reason it hurts. it hurts because reactions are occurring giving a pain stimulus. if your foot is colder at the onset the reactions will stimulate a higher response.
Does water tend to diffuse from a region where it is less concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?
Maybe you mean osmosis?However, osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeable membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.answ2. However, in the oceans, the turbulence is very much less than that of the air. Thus whilst C14 for example diffuses reasonably rapidly in the air, and may be assumed to homogenize after a few years; in the oceans the rate of diffusion is very much slower.And the oceans are known to stratify. For example in the Fiords in New Zealand, there forms a fresh water layer on top of the sea water, and this is known to freeze in winter. The ocean water itself in the same locale never gets cold enough to freeze.
What are some general characteristics of cold oceans?
the water is pretty cold.
What are the kronosaurus habitat?
under water cold places
What is the the difference between the salt concentration of hot water and the salt concentration of cold water?
The same
What condition would lead to maximum absorption of O2 by the gills?
Cold water has higher oxygen content. Good water flow across the gills would allow more oxygen to be absorbed.
How do different temperatures affect water?
If the water is hot, (at boiling point) it will boil, if the water is cold, ( at freezing point) it will freeze.
Why are there more fish in cold seas than warmer ones?
It's due to the higher oxygen content of the water, which supports a greater biomass
What has a higher density cold or hot water?
Cold water has a greater density than hot water.
What has a higher rate of evaporation hot water or cold water?
A higher rate of evaporation has hot water.
Warm and cold water?
Warm water is little bit hotter than cold water. The temperature of warm water is higher than that of cold water
When you add hot water to cold water the cold water gets warm because of what?
That would be convection. Thermal diffusion of energy from a high concentration to a low concentration. Depending on the application or context, the loss of energy can be reffered to as entropy as well.
Why does cold water affect goldfish respiration?
The cold water causes an increase in oxygen, in the water, which makes it easier for the fish to breathe.
Why higher temperatures affect the survival of some species in fresh water environments?
The warmer the water the less oxygen it can carry. The warmer the water the faster the cold blooded inhabitants metabolism is and the more demand there is for more oxygen. Many creatures that have evolved to survive/thrive in cool water may well find insufficient oxygen to enable them to survive under conditions that are too warm for them.
How does the temperature of the ocean water affect oxygen levels in water?
Cold water is denser than warm water. Cold water sinks the bottom of the ocean taking many of the oxygen molecules with it. In the same sense warm water keeps water molecules spread throughout it self.
