Explanation:This is because gas molecules diffuse between the atmosphere and the water's surface. According to Henry's Law, the dissolved oxygen content of water is proportional to the percent of oxygen (partial pressure) in the air above it 13.Nitrogen gas does not react with water. It does dissolve in water. Nitrogen (N2) solubility at 20oC and pressure = 1 bar is approximately 20 mg/L. Nitrogen solubility may differ between compounds.
