Oxygen can be dissolved in water. This is biologically important because animals that live in the water, such as fish, need to get oxygen from the water to perform respiration and live.

What are the importances of dissolved air in water?

Although fish and other sea life live in water, they still need oxygen from air to function. They use gills (other something similar) to extract air from the water for respiration. If their was no air dissolved in the water, they would suffocate.

What dissolves krypton?

Well, as air is found dissolved in water and fish extract the oxygen of the air, then any gas will dissolve in water. Air also contains a small amount of the Noble gases which are therefore present in the air dissolved in it.


Can nitrogen be filtered out of water?

More abundant in water than what? If we presume that you mean to compare the concentration of dissolved nitrogen found in rivers and streams to that dissolved in air, there is only a very small amount, around 1%, dissolved in water but, there is around 79% dissolved in air.


Can the dissolved air be removed from the water?

Yes, dissolved air can be removed from water through various methods, such as vacuum degassing, where a vacuum is applied to lower the pressure and allow dissolved gases to escape. Another method is heating, which increases the water's temperature and reduces gas solubility, facilitating the release of air. Additionally, using a membrane or gas exchange system can help separate and remove dissolved gases from water.


Can you give at least 5 example of a gas solution?
