Question

state the importance of the solubility of CO2 and O2 in water​

Answer 1

CO2 for aquatic plants and o2 for aquatic animals.The dissolved oxygen (DO) is oxygen that is dissolved in water. The oxygen dissolves by diffusion from the surrounding air; aeration of water that has tumbled over falls and rapids; and as a waste product of photosynthesis.

Answer 2

Answer:

The concentration of oxygen in water is crucial to aquatic animals that depend on dissolved oxygen for respiration. The oceans are a major sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, the oceans are no longer able to absorb the increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere without changes to the acidity levels.
