Solution

The correct option is D Yes
$C O_{2}$ when dissolves in water it interacts with surrounding water molecules to hydrate itself, i.e the electronegative oxygen atoms of $C O_{2}$ forms strong H-bond with H atoms of water molecules, This interaction is very strong to dissolve more and more $C O_{2}$ molecules. Thus, Carbon dioxide ( $C O_{2}$ ) is more soluble in water than ( $O_{2}$ ).
