Description : On increasing the temperature the solubility of most of the gases in water decreases. An important consequence of this effect is the thermal pollution of water, such as occurs around power plants cooled by a river or stream. How is the survival of fish affected by thermal pollution of water?
Last Answer : Ans.: When the water temperature of the river or stream is increases the solubility of oxygen in water decreases. Due to this decrease in dissolved oxygen the survival of fish becomes difficult.
