the temperature at which O2 will have maximum solubility in water at a given pressure is
Answers
It is definitely a very interesting question to solve and do some brainstorming.
**************************************************
All gases have lower solubility at higher temperatures due to the greater molecular motions of the liquid molecules. Or we may say, solubility decreases as temperature increases gradually.
The effect of temperature on solubility can be explained on the basis of Le Chatelier's Principle.
The maximum density of water occurs at 4 °C because, at this temperature two opposing effects are in balance.

Every gas have a low dissolving strength with the warm water. The perfect temperature for the best dissolving of oxygen is found to be 60 degree Fahrenheit. The dissolving capacity of oxygen in the water with that temperature is noted as 9.66 mg/L where the capacity of dissolving found to be decreased to 8.68 mg/L when the temperature of the water increased to 70 degree Fahrenheit.
Temperature play an important role in the solubility of gases in water.
Cold water can possess more dissolved oxygen than the warmer one.
