Can gases cannot dissolve in water?

Answer 1

To find out the answer to this question, first you must understand about polarity.

A polar molecule is one which has both:

-polar bonds (ie. the intramolecular covalent molecular bond between both atoms are of different electronegativities, hence one gains a partially positive charge, delta +, and the more electronegative atom gains a partially negative charge, delta -).

-the delta + and delta - centres to not coincide (and therefore do not cancel each other out) (need to know molecular structure to do this)

Both of these mean that the molecule has an overall dipole (+ive and -ive side)

Polar molecules are soluble (can dissolve) in other polar solvents.

Non-polar molecules are soluble in other non-polar solvents.

A polar substance is NOT soluble in a non-polar substance and vice versa.

WATER IS A POLAR SUBSTANCE. Therefore, gases which are ALSO POLAR can dissolve in water.

Answer 2

Some gases can dissolve in water, like oxygen and carbon dioxide, while others, like helium and nitrogen, are less soluble. The solubility of gases in water is typically dependent on factors such as pressure, temperature, and the nature of the gas.

Answer 3

All gases can dissolve in water. it's a wrong concept that gases don't dissolve in water.

And all gases can dissolve in other liquids as well.

Answer 4

All gases may be dissolved in water, more or less easy.

Answer 5

Nitrogen
