State the importance of the solubility of $C O_{2}$ and $O_{2}$ in water.

Open in App

Solution

Carbon dioxide is more soluble in water as compared to oxygen gas. Some fraction of carbon dissolved forms carbonic acid with water and it is readily dissolvable because of formation of strong hydrogen bonds. Oxygen in dissolved form is necessary for survival of aquatic life and it forms weak vander waal bonds.
