Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following gases is most soluble in water?
Correct Answer: CO2
  • Step 1: Understand that solubility means how well a gas can dissolve in water.
  • Step 2: Look at the gases given: CO2 (carbon dioxide), O2 (oxygen), N2 (nitrogen), and H2 (hydrogen).
  • Step 3: Know that CO2 can react with water to form carbonic acid, which helps it dissolve better.
  • Step 4: Compare CO2 with the other gases: O2, N2, and H2 do not form any compounds with water.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since CO2 can form carbonic acid, it is more soluble in water than O2, N2, and H2.
