Which of the following statements regarding the solubility of oxygen in water is incorrect?
A) Water in contact with air contains a small amount of dissolved oxygen.
B) When water is heated, the first tiny bubbles that you see escaping from the warm water contain O2.
C) In warm weather, fish must come to the surface more often to get oxygen, since there is less dissolved oxygen in the water than in cooler weather.
D) If a sealed container has both oxygen and water, changing the pressure of the oxygen above the water will have no effect on the solubility of the oxygen in the water.
E) An increase in temperature causes an increase in the kinetic energy of the molecules in a solution, allowing oxygen molecules to escape more readily.
