The solubility of these non-polar gases depends mostly on London dispersion forces between the water molecules and the gas molecules. Since carbon dioxide is larger (has a higher molecular weight) than methane, it is more polarizable and it therefore has stronger intermolecular forces with water. The strength of intermolecular forces (forces between molecules) is directly related to the solubility of any substance in water.
Due to the polar nature of the carbon oxygen bond. So, the carbon being partially positive and oxygen being partially negative. So, it easy dissolve in water
carbon dioxide does more than merely dissolve in water, it forms bonds with the water and makes carbonic acid. H2CO3
because it is more sad :(
Carbon dioxide compared to oxygen is more soluble in water. CO2 reacts with water to form carbonic acid, H2CO3. This explains its high solubility in water.
methane and oxygen react together (combustion) to give carbon dioxide + water. The reactants are methane and oxygen which react to form the products water and carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen. It a gas, slightly soluble in water when it forms (the weak) hydro-carbonic acid. When pressurised and cooled its solid state is called 'dry ice'.
No, Cellular Respiration returns carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere: Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light Energy -> Sugar + Oxygen Cellular Respiration: Sugar + Oxygen -> C.R. -> Carbon Dioxide + Water
Carbon Dioxide & Water, Complete burning with excess of oxygen gives out Carbon Dioxide(CO2) + Water , While incomplete burning with limited amount of oxygen gives out Carbon monoxide (CO) + Water
Carbon dioxide is more soluble in water.
Carbon dioxide compared to oxygen is more soluble in water. CO2 reacts with water to form carbonic acid, H2CO3. This explains its high solubility in water.
Carbon dioxide is highly soluble in water and blood plasma. 900 ml/ liter carbon dioxide is soluble in water as against 4 ml/ liter of Oxygen. So this question would have been about oxygen instead of carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is more soluble in water than O2. The most soluble gas in water is ammonia. Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid.
Oxygen is very sparingly soluble. Carbon dioxide is highly soluble in water or plasma. The respiratory center is stimulated by high level of the carbon dioxide. The respiratory center probably does not analyse the oxygen level.
This is because Carbon dioxide is about 25 times more soluble in water than oxygen at body temperature. Carbon dioxide is more soluble because a chemical reaction takes place with water when it dissolves forming Carbonic acid when combined with water. There is no chemical reaction taking place when oxygen dissolves in water.
yes
Carbon dioxide and water
methane and oxygen react together (combustion) to give carbon dioxide + water. The reactants are methane and oxygen which react to form the products water and carbon dioxide.
It reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat.
no, only water realeases oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide and uses sunlight to split it into carbon and oxygen, releasing the oxygen into the air, and combining the carbon with water from the ground to create glucose.
