Question

which is more soluble in water oxygen or Carbon dioxide​

Answer 1

Answer:

oxygen would be more soluble to water than carbon dioxide

Answer 2

Explanation:

Here are some key concepts about solubility of gases in water

Here is reason about solubility of carbon dioxide

- molecule of carbon dioxide has a slight negative charge near the oxygen and a slight positive charge near the carbon. CO2 is soluble because water molecules are attracted to these polar areas. The bond between carbon and oxygen is not as polar as the bond between hydrogen and oxygen, but it is polar enough that carbon dioxide can dissolve in water.

Here is the graph depicting the solubility of co2 at different temp:
