Why does more CO2 than o2 dissolve in liquid when both gases are at the same pressure?

Carbon dioxide forms the weak acid carbonic acid when dissolved in water. This makes it more soluble, since some of the carbon dioxide is no longer in the form of carbon dioxide.

How does pressure and temperature affect gas changing into a liquid?
All gases will liquify (or solidify in some cases) as a result of a sufficiently low temperature or a sufficiently high pressure, or a combination of both.
How is liquid the same as gases?
Both are fluids
What is STP is used when discussing gases because gases are so easily affected by temperature and pressure?
That is correct. Precisely because gases are affected by temperature and pressure, a standard for both must often be specified.
Do compounds retain the physical qualities of the elements they are made of?
No, for example water which is a liquid at room temperature and standard pressure is made from two elements (Hydrogen and Oxygen) which are both gases under the same conditions.
When a liquid sample is taken from sea level to a higher elevation what happens to the external pressure on the liquid and the boiling point of the liquid?
atmospheric pressure is lower and the boiling point is less
What physical characteristic is the same for the liquid and solid states?
Both gases and liquids can assume any shape for a given volume and pressure.
How does pressure and temperature affect gas changing into a liquid?
All gases will liquify (or solidify in some cases) as a result of a sufficiently low temperature or a sufficiently high pressure, or a combination of both.
How is liquid the same as gases?
Both are fluids
What is the meaning of liquifaction of gases?
Liquifaction (or liquefaction) is the process by which a substance is converted from a gaseous to a liquid state. This is accomplished by increasing the pressure, lowering the temperature or both.
What gases are liquid?
All gases can be caused to change state to liquids. By either cooling, compression or a combination of both, any gas can be liquefied. This change is a physical change, by the way.
Liquids and gases exert a buoyant force?
Both liquid and gas
What is STP is used when discussing gases because gases are so easily affected by temperature and pressure?
That is correct. Precisely because gases are affected by temperature and pressure, a standard for both must often be specified.
What will happen if you increase both the pressure and temperature of a liquid?
It will boil
Do compounds retain the physical qualities of the elements they are made of?
No, for example water which is a liquid at room temperature and standard pressure is made from two elements (Hydrogen and Oxygen) which are both gases under the same conditions.
Is a fluid a gas and a liquid?
Fluids are substances that have the tendency to flow. Gases and liquids are both fluids because they both flow.
Why you use mercury to measure the pressure?
Because it is both liquid and heavy.
To change a gas to a liquid you?
Cool it down or increase the pressure (or both)
