Asked by Helen

Why is oxygen less soluble in water as temperature of the water increases ?

Are there any elements that are like this too?

Answers

Answered by Dr Russ
If you look at their solubilities, other gases also become less soluble as the temperature increases

The solubility of a gas in water is given by Henry's law

p=Kc

where p= partial pressure of the gas above the water, c=concentration and K is a tmperature dependant constant, i.e. varies with temperaure.
