Increase in temperature causes a decrease in soulubility of gases so loss of oxygen and therefore fish die due to a loss of oxygen 

First take a look at the equation and see how many elements there are, in this case we have 3 different elements; Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. To balance the equation start off by balancing the elements i...
